Those observant few amongst you may have noticed at somepoint over the weekend that a new link appeared above the top-left of the box where you enter what elucidating comments you choose to share with the messageboards here on RAFO (right next to the smiley codes. See it? Right there, look!), reading "Formatting".

This wonderful page gives you information on how to easily format your posts with such wonderful things as bold and italic text without requiring faffing about with such things as HTML tags (although you can still do that if you really want to).

Perhaps the most useful thing about integrating Markdown is the ability to easily insert bulletpoints. All you now need to do is:

• Enter a space followed by an asterisk and another space
• Type your charming witticisms
• Et voila

Those of you with premium plus accounts will be able to use the link insert functionality to add links within your posts like this.

Any questions, just let me know. Otherwise, enjoy the first piece of development to result from the fundraiser! Custom CSS will be coming soon (and hopefully won't be as much of a nightmare as this was).
