Markdown Reference for Submissions
-
Introduction
This guide will go over how to effectively use the markdown syntax system so you can make your content look as good as possible!

Basic Formatting
As you create your post, you will see two screens. The screen on the left is where you input your guide and add markdown text for formatting. You will automatically see a preview created on the right that shows how your post will be viewed on the main site. If there are any errors in what the post looks like, be sure to fix it so that everything is working before submitting. If you have a problem you can come back and edit your post later.
Headings
Headings allow for basic page formatting and automatically change font size for visual impact. In addition all headings will display automatically in the table of contents. This will help users find information in your sheet directly.
# Header NameAdd more hashtags for deeper headings. Up to six headings is supported. Only the first three headings will be added to the table of contents bar.
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
Heading 4
Heading 5
Heading 6
Bold Font
**Bold**The font can have bold effect.
Italic Font
*Italic*The font can have an italic effect
Strikethrough Font
~~You think you do, but you don't.~~You think you do, but you don't.
Blockquote
> Quote text >> Nested quoteIf you want to have something quoted you can add it.
This is a quote
Nested quote
Horizontal Rule
If you want a line break in your post then add a horizontal rule.
---It is currently being used between each section in this document. It looks like this:
And the text below it is now a new section.
Links
If you want to turn any text into a clickable link then follow the syntax below. Optionally if you want to have mouseover text for the link use the quotes and type what you want the text to be.
[Link Text](https://www.example.com) [Link Text](https://www.example.com "Type here for text if you mouseover the link")ClassicWoW.live
ClassicWoW.live
Tooltips
Game tooltips are supported. Currently only wowhead's links will work. Simply use the link markdown shown above and use the complete url of an item, spell, npc, etc to have the link display a tooltip.
Did somebody say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?
Images
Images can be directly uploaded from your computer or linked from a webpage. To add an image from a webpage, click the picture button at the top of the screen or use the markdown example below
You can also upload an image directly from your computer. Simply drag and drop an image and it will upload at your cursor or click the upload image button at the top.
Link Images
You can combine links and images so that you can click on the picture itself.

Lists
You can have multiple types of lists, depending on what kinds of information you want to show.
Bullet Points
- First item - First nested item (add 3 spaces at the beginning) - Second nested item (add 6 spaces at the beginning) - Second item- First item
- First nested item
- Second nested item
- First nested item
- Second item
Numbered List
1. First item 1. First nested item (add 3 spaces at the beginning) 1. Second nested item (add 6 spaces at the beginning) 2. Second item- First item
- First nested item
- Second nested item
- First nested item
- Second item
Task List
These lists give visually interactive checkboxes for lists.
- [ ] First item (by default checked) - [x] First nested item (by default not checked) - [ ] Second item (by default not checked)
Tables
You can create great looking tables directly in your document. Tables can be left, center, or right justified and you can have links and font style effects in each cell. Headers, blockquotes, or lists don't work in tables. More columns and rows can be created. Simply keep adding onto the formatting example shown below.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | | :--- | :----: | ---: | | The colon on the left makes it left justified | One on each side centers | And on the right makes it right justified | | *Entry 1* | [Light of Elune](https://classic.wowhead.com/item=5816/light-of-elune) | | | **Entry 2** | Dagger | [Greater Dreamless Sleep Potion](https://classic.wowhead.com/item=20002/greater-dreamless-sleep-potion) |Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 The colon on the left makes it left justified One on each side centers And on the right makes it right justified Entry 1 Light of Elune Entry 2 Dagger Greater Dreamless Sleep Potion
Format Combinations
Most of the markdown formatting can be combined to produce exactly the look that you want. Here is an example of multiple formats working together.
> #### Every class is important > > - Each is needed for raids. > - All have their place in PvP. > > ***Everything*** is going according to **plan**.Every class is important
- Each is needed for raids.
- All have their place in PvP.
Everything is going according to plan.
- First item

sorry for the noob question, but how do you add tags to a topic?
-
@Lammy only CWL staff can add tags. Tags are only used to place videos and written guides on the main page. Did you have something in mind you wanted tagged?
-
Hi @Melderon thanks for clarifying, I don't have anything that needs tagging, I just saw the tags and wondered if its something we should add to posts, but what you said makes sense. btw keep up the great work running this community :))

@Lammy Thanks, my friend. Will do!
