FarkasCity allows you to categorize your posts with hashtags. To do that, simply include a hashtag anywhere in your post. Here’s an example: #HowTo. That tags this post as “HowTo”, and clicking on the hashtag will bring up all the posts with the same tag. This is how I’m able to link specifically to the tutorials on this blog in the welcome emails, despite having more than just tutorials on this blog.

You may have noticed that the FarkasCity editor lacks buttons for making things italicized or bolded, and for adding links and etc. This is because the FarkasCity editor uses text-based formatting, called Markdown.

This article is a guide to using Markdown to format your blog posts simply. It is arranged from basic to more-complicated things, so you only have to read as much of it as you want to.

Titles

To title your post, put a hash before the first line of your post. For example, this is what the beginning of this post looks like in the editor:

Formatting text in a paragraph is really simple. To italicize something, surround it in asterisks (stars) like so: To *italicize* something,. For bold, use two stars: For **bold**,.
