The best is coming back to what you wrote years later and having the "I was an idiot" reaction.

Hah, this is so true! Or sometimes I come back to something I wrote and I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. I used to take notes transliterated into Tengwar (the Elvish script from the Lord of the Rings universe), and now I'm just completely clueless as to what is going on!

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, Twitter, and Spotify urls will embed the content automatically.

Image URLs (.png, .tif, .gif, and .jpg) will embed automatically.

I always wanted to learn Tengwar...but that skill is right alongside my conversational Klingon and Japanese. Not good. Not good at all.
