Markdown Guide - with gifs and clickable image tables

NX markdown guide
You can use markdown to structurize your posts or clarify by adding hyperlinks to Wikipedia or to spice up your profile page.
Fixing your text
When typing a post, click attach and check the "use markdown formatting" box, now when you save the post, your text may look messed up, let's fix that:
- type a double space " " at the end of each line to insert a line break (an enter).
- URLs like "https://lowresnx.inutilis.com/" automatically become hyperlinks.
- Formatting with asterisks:
*this text is in italics*like thisand **this text is bold**like this. - Code blocks with backticks:
`1*1=1`produces1*1=1- note that if the example calculation was not a code block, markdown would think the asterisk means italics
- multi-line code blocks with triple backticks:
```put one of these on the lines above and below your code segment, you can optionally type the coding language for formatting right after the top backticks, like```basic, but there appears to be no formatting hereprint "Hellooooo Wooooorld!!!!!"- note the code block itself is indented and aligned to this same bullet list, this is done by placing this code block on the next line without not adding a double space on the line above it
- you can use a hyphen (aka minus "-") to make bullet lists, and you can insert three, six, nine, etc. spaces before it to indent it:
- deeper
- deeperer
- we reached the mantle!
- the core!
- the inner core!
- the innerer core
- where are we now?
- the innerer core
- the inner core!
- the core!
- we reached the mantle!
- deeperer
- deeper
- you can do the same with numbers using "1." instead of a hyphen
- Deeper
- Deeperer
- Deepererer
- You can of course combine it with hyphens if you like
- Deepererer
- Deeperer
- Deeper
- use three hyphens "
---" to insert a line break, like below: - and use "#" (h1), "##" (h2), "###" (h3), or "####" (h4) for headings, use these to structure your page like I tried for this post, and not to make a whole paragraph big and hard to read.
- so, this:
--- ## Custom Hyperlinkbecomes the title below:
Custom Hyperlink
Done like"[text](url)", so the text below:
[NX won't give you up](https://lowresnx.inutilis.com/player.php?p=uploads/nWrL33Sjcx_Rick_Player_2.nx)
looks like: NX won't give you up.
Images
- like "
", so:
looks like:
- note that the shown image size depends on the image resolution, this may even depend on the device used: I noticed that NX markdown images shown on my phone appear smaller than on my iPad.
- note2: you could use Discord as a free image hosting service (if it works, this one did not work), but in this case, it is better to copy the NX program image url directly from NX
gifs
If you have an url that provides a gif file (usually ends with ".gif") you can put that in too, so
looks like:
clickable images
- we can combine elements:
[](hyperlink url)to get this clickable image, like
[](https://lowresnx.inutilis.com/topic.php?id=3649)
which looks like:
- and you can click it to go to its program
Tables
This:
| a | b | and | or | xor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |looks like this:
| a | b | and | or | xor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
- note: tables may look off on mobile platforms, I recommend using short words as these will move to new lines to allow the table to be narrowed
hyperlink-Images in tables
- this is can be used to add a featured section to your profile page
| [ subtitle 1](hyperlink url 1) | [ subtitle 2 ](hyperlink url 2) |
|---|---|So:
| [ explore](https://lowresnx.inutilis.com/topic.php?id=3649) | [ play ](https://lowresnx.inutilis.com/topic.php?id=3538) |
|---|---| explore |
play |
|---|
- note: the text is bold because this is in the table header

Warning
One thing to look out for, which you can see happening on this page, is that these images draw attention and can easily clutter a page

up there with nathanielbabiak's Detailed Console Notes, Discord does hate being used as free image hosting

Thank you!
The Discord hosted images worked for about a day. I'm glad I added alt text.
