HackerNews Formatting Guide

  • Blank lines separate paragraphs
  • Text surrounded by asterisks is italicized. Use \* or ** for literal asterisk
  • Text indented by two or more spaces after a blank line is shown verbatim (for code, do not use for quotes as it's hard to read on mobile)
  • URLs that start with http are automatically converted to links. Trailing periods are ignored.
  • Emojis are not displayed.
