For anyone else who hasn't figured this out yet and wants more formatting without busting out too much in the way of HTML or going down the CSS crime rabbit hole: Beyond what's displayed on the cheatsheet, a fair amount of extended markdown syntax is built into Cohost. If you don't want to experiment to see what on there made it in:
| Table Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| I just kind of assumed Table syntax was listed in the cheatsheet because I forget it's not standard in markdown. | Apparently it's not listed because it's not! |
| So now you know. |
| Left | Centered | Right |
|---|---|---|
| Left aligned text! | Center aligned text | Right aligned text! |
(thanks @p4r4digm for the reminder!)
This is preformatted text.
You can use this for stuff like multi-line HTML or markdown code blocks.
You can add footnotes like this.1 (Scroll to the end of the post to see it.) It creates a <hr> so fair warning that it adds a "read more" between the text and the footnotes if there isn't already one above. Put a --- elsewhere if that's a problem!
- Checkbox lists exist!
- Bear in mind you can't click them because markdown checkboxes typically aren't clickable.
- But they look neat!
Highlighting exists!
Subscripting exists too.
And superscript as well!
