Here\u2019s how to apply text formatting to level up your Reddit experience.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reddit_Text_Formatting\"><\/span>Reddit Text Formatting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reddit is the largest discussion board on the internet, with millions of active users and thousands of subreddits. Reddit only allows you to use text in the body of posts and comments. However, they have various options that will enable you to add formatting to your content thanks to Markdown, a markup language that applies text formatting to the content on a web page.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to other text formatting languages, Markdown is well known for being straightforward, easy-to-use, and intuitive, even for new users. If you\u2019re interested in learning more about the language, you can check out our Guide to Markdown. However, this piece will be focused on formatting options that frequent Reddit users will find most useful.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using Reddit\u2019s new interface on desktop, you likely won\u2019t need to use Markdown as the interface has a visual editor. However, if you\u2019re using old Reddit, the official Reddit app on mobile, or third-party Reddit clients, you will likely still have to use Markdown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is Markdown and How Do You Use It?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_Formatting_Options\"><\/span>Basic Formatting Options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few basic formatting options that everyone can use for their posts.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Emphasis\"><\/span>Emphasis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><code>*italics*<\/code> \u2013 <em>Italics<br \/><\/em><code>**bold**<\/code> \u2013 <strong>bold<br \/><\/strong><code>***bold italics***<\/code> \u2013\u00a0<em><strong>bold italics<br \/><\/strong><\/em><code>~~strikethrough~~<\/code> \u2013 <del>strikethrough<\/del><\/p>\n<p>The above formatting options are ways to emphasize parts of the text. You can wrap single asterisks (*) to italicize a block of text, two (**) to bold a text, and three (***) to put both bold and italics on text. You can also add a line through text with a strikethrough, using two tildes (~~) before and after.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sections_and_Headers\"><\/span>Sections and Headers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><code># Header 1<br \/>## Header 2<br \/>### Header 3<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The actual font size of these header sections varies from browser to browser. These are intended to separate different sections of a Reddit text post. This is especially true if the text post is fairly long and comprehensive, like a guide or a timeline. Like other documents, the largest size is header 1, followed by 2 and 3.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In-Line_Links_and_Automatic_Links\"><\/span>In-Line Links and Automatic Links<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><code>[Reddit Link](http:\/\/reddit.com)<\/code> \u2013 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/reddit.com\/\">Reddit Link<\/a><br \/><code>u\/nameofuser<\/code> \u2013 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/reddit.com\/u\/reddit\">u\/reddit<\/a><br \/><code>r\/nameofsubreddit<\/code> \u2013 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AskReddit\/\">r\/AskReddit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To create a link on Reddit, wrap the link text in brackets ([ ]), then place the link immediately after in parentheses. These links must have \u201chttp,\u201d \u201chttps,\u201d or similar link schemes in them.<\/p>\n<p>You can also have Reddit automatically create certain links for you. Typing \u201cu\/\u201d followed by the name of a Reddit user will link to the user with that name. On the other hand, \u201cr\/\u201d followed by the name of a subreddit will link to that community. These two are case-sensitive, so make sure to always type them in the lowercase.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quotes_and_Code\"><\/span>Quotes and Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><code>&gt; Quoted Text<br \/>&gt;&gt; Nested Quote Text\u00a0<\/code><br \/><code>`Code Text`<\/code><\/p>\n<p>To quote text from a different user or another source, place a greater-than sign or angled bracket (&gt;) before the text. To add a nested quote within that quote, use two angled brackets (&gt;&gt;) before the text. To turn text into code, place a backtick (`) at the beginning and end of the text.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Line_Breaks_and_Lines\"><\/span>Line Breaks and Lines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><code>Single<br \/>Line Break<\/code><\/p>\n<p><code>Paragraph -enter-<br \/>-enter-<br \/>Line Break<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Single line breaks are made up of four spaces (\u00a0 \u00a0 ), while double line breaks, or paragraph breaks, are two spaces, which you get by hitting the enter button twice.<\/p>\n<p><code>***<\/code><\/p>\n<p>If you use three asterisks, you will also get a horizontal line, also called a line divider, which looks like this:<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advanced_Formatting\"><\/span>Advanced Formatting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lists\"><\/span>Lists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><code>* Item 1<br \/>* Item 2<\/code><\/p>\n<p><code>1.

Numbered Item 2<\/code><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Numbered Item 1<\/li>\n<li>Numbered Item 2<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To create an unordered list, place asterisks (*), plus signs (+), or minus signs (-) before each item. Then add a line break between each item. For numbered lists, place a number and a period (1., 2., etc.) before each item. It will number these items starting from one. You cannot create a non-ascending list, so all lists will automatically be formatted to start from one going upwards.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spoilers\"><\/span>Spoilers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><code>&gt;!spoiler text!&lt;<\/code><\/p>\n<p>If you want to hide a particular block of text so you don\u2019t spoil the ending of a movie or book, use spoiler tags. Wrap the text in \u201c&gt;!\u201d and \u201c!&lt;\u201d tags, and it will prevent someone from seeing a block of text unless the user clicks on it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Formatting_Previews\"><\/span>Formatting Previews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-745191 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Reddit-Preview-Website.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Reddit Preview Reddit Post\" width=\"650\" height=\"350\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/redditpreview.com\/\" data-credittext=\"Reddit Preview\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redditpreview.com\/\">Reddit Preview<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you want to make sure that your text is good to go before you post it, you can try using a Markdown preview editor.
