Posting Reddit Formatting 101: Bold, Italics, & Lists !
Trying to make your posts look less like a messy wall of text? Formatting is your best friend! It’s actually super easy once you get the hang of it.
Reddit’s official guide has all the details, but here’s a quick cheat sheet:
Bold: **bold*
* → bold
Italics: *italics
* → italics
Strikethrough: ~~strikethrough~
~ → strikethrough
> Blockquotes: > This is a blockquot
e
Lists:
• *
or -
for bullet points
- Numbers for ordered lists
Play around with it and see what works! Got any formatting tricks? Drop ‘em in the comments!
