TradeMe docs on formatting listing text?
AnsweredHey,
Anyone know if there is offical (or un-offical) docs somewhere on what options we have for formatting text in listings?
I know basics like # is bold, and - for bullets. But is there a full list somewhere..
I'm kinda hoping there is a way to bold part of a sentence, not just the whole line.

Hi Adriel. I've never seen a published list, but Trademe uses a subset of the markdown html language.
There are some basic formatting things you can use so just have a bit of a play and see what's what. You need to ensure there are no spaces between the special chars and your words eg this = ** not bold**, but this = **bold** . In a sentence, if you want just one word **bold** then just put the asterisks around that word.
Markdown
========
*I'm italic*
**I'm bold**
***I'm bold and italicised***
# I'm a heading
~~I'm struck through~~
- Bulleted list item 1
- Bulleted list item 28 -
That's super helpful, thanks Gary!

Tried the asterisks and it didn't work. TM must of changed their coding.

Yes, still working for me. The important sentence in my post is " You need to ensure there are no spaces between the special chars and your words eg this = ** not bold**, but this = **bold** . "
