Markdown shortcuts work too — start a line with #, - or >.

Use the right amount of formatting

Use headings for a new topic, lists for short instructions and emphasis for a few important words. Keep question titles concise and put longer explanations in the description.

The full editor offers more formatting than a single-line field. If a control is unavailable, check that you are editing a description rather than a title or numeric setting.

Formatting and piping can be combined. Preview the result with real-looking answers to check that an inserted value fits the sentence.

Continue with links or tables.
