Add some colour to the banter
Looking to add some formatting to jazz up your Banter posts? Here are some quick tips.
For those of you with some basic skills with writing HTML code, Banter messages on TheBench lets you add some simple formatting like bold (eg. <b>Bold</b>), italic (eg. <i>Italic</i>) or links (eg. <a href=”http://linkurl.com.au”>Link Label</a>). For the rest of us, the Banter supports a simple markup language called “Markdown” to let you add some quick and easy styling.
Italic:
Adding Italic words to your banter posts is as simple as adding an asterix (*) before and after the parts you want to highlight. eg. typing the following into the Banter message box:
This is a *great* feature on TheBench
Will output:
This is a great feature on TheBench
Bold:
In a similar fashion to making italic text, to make some text bold, simply use two asterix eg.
This is a *great* feature on **TheBench**
Will output:
This is a great feature on TheBench
Links:
To create links, use square brackets surrounding the link label followed directly by round brackets surrounding the actual link. eg. to create a link to “https://thebench.com.au” with the label “TheBench”
This is a *great* feature on [TheBench](https://thebench.com.au)
Will output:
This is a *great* feature on TheBench
Other formatting:
The Banter supports a whole bunch of other simple formatting using the markdown language like lists,headings, images. You can checkout more info about markdown here: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
