If you've wondered how people are adding images, fancy text, and even gifs to their posts, look no further. I'll show you how to do this, step by step!
Each of these examples shows how it's made, and the result. Any explanations will be under the results.
LINKS & IMAGES:
Regular Link
My Profile Page
[My Profile Page](https://www.simplerockets.com/u/Mod)
Image
For the image to work, it must have the file type at the end. As you can see above, these are ".png."
You can leave the space in the brackets empty, or you can add text. It doesn't matter.
Gif
Same as the Image example, but the filetype is named ".gif."
Clickable Image
[](https://www.simplerockets.com/)
This one is easier than it looks! It's really just a regular link, with an image link inside the regular link's brackets.
TEXT STYLING
Italics
_Italics_ or *Italics*
Bold
__Bold__ or **Bold**

QUOTES/BULLET POINTS
Block Quote
(Four spaces in a row before the text)
Regular Quote
>Regular Quote
- Bullet Point
- Extra Bullet Point
- And Numbers
- Extra Bullet Point
* Bullet Point*
You can add onto bullet points using - (for extra bullet points) and 1. (numbers)
You'll need to add two spaces before each so they work.
Code Quotes
`Code Quotes`
These are the things I'm using for each example.
Square Blocks
```Square Blocks```
MISC:
Section Breaks
___ (3 underscores creates the section breaks you can see in this post)
Make sure to have an empty line before and after each break.
This is everything that I know of. If anything else needs to be added or stuff needs to be changed, it'll be updated accordingly. Make sure you try everything out and put stuff together to make the best posts possible!
If you'd like, you can go ahead and try stuff in the comments below, but take note that images will not work in comments.
@OrionAerospaceTech No, there are no limitations for mobile devices. As long as the link you are using is from a website that can properly host the image, it will work exactly like it does for PC. None of the formatting is reliant on the device you use to write it with.
Are the png./gif. links possible on iOS? What I’ve seen so far shows that iOS is very limited in what it can do as far as putting pictures/text in the images for a post. Does this handicap apply to descriptions too?
They seem to be using Markdown for formatting. There are some good markdown tutorials out there (linked one is just an example). Note that simplerockets.com doesn't support html, so things like <br> (in general: Most things that use <...>) won't work. Still, there are some more possibilities that aren't mentioned here, so maybe you could add a note, maybe with a link? (Or, fast alternative, pin this comment)
Edit: Another Markdown tutorial
Edit 2: Even more tutorials and Cheat Sheets:
