I’ve experimented with these formatting options, and they work well in both posts and comments. I hope you find them useful. Here’s a quick summary:
1. Bold: <b>Your text</b>
2. Italic: <i>Your text</i>
3. Strikethrough: <s>Your text</s> (not work for comments as spotted by @umar_saleem)
4. Link: <a href="[Your link]" target="_blank">[Your text]</a>
5. Image: <img src="[Your image url]" alt="[Your text]" style="max-width: 100%">
(Adding "alt" text helps screen reader users :D)
6. Use style attribute for font, color and more if you know what CSS is.
Image Example: Me working on Trangram (animated using Trangram)
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Please do not overuse these formats, and always be cautious when clicking on external links, especially if you’re unsure about the source.Replies

Strikethrough seems to be not working, but this seems to be similar to the WA chat.

@umar_saleem Strikethrough doesn't work in comment, but work in post, here is the example. Will update accordingly, thanks :)

I came here after your comment :D Thanks! I was really trying to figure out how to make my discussions more interesting with some formatting tools.
Love the alt text tip for images. Accessibility is important will start using it.

Seriously, no one else think the animation is adorable? I mean, just look at that cat's tail and ears!!!
Totally agree that formatting is key! 🔑 Some tips I swear by:
1. Break up long paragraphs into bite-sized chunks 🍰
2. Use emojis to add personality 😀
3. Include images/screenshots to make posts pop 🖼
4. Add numbers or bullets to organize info 123
5. Don't forget to bold or italicize important bits 💪
