TradeMe docs on formatting listing text?
Answered
Hey,
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.

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.

*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 213 -
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** . "

Hi there, what is the formatting text for a new line please? I am writing some new descriptions and would like them to be spaced out.
Thanks!

If you're viewing the listing on the Trade Me app (Android, possibly also iOS) you won't see any formatting like bold.
The formatting only works on the Trade Me website.
This is probably why some people don't think this is working anymore.0
