SpaceDock Markdown

Markdown is a way of adding formatting to your mod listing, including headers and code and embedded videos, images, etc. You should definitely use them to spice up mod listings. The full specification is here, but here's a quick overview:

Forum Thread

You can use Markdown on your mod descriptions, profile page, and changelogs. The nice thing about using it in your changelogs is that it looks nice in plaintext, which is how it shows up in your user's email inboxes.

User profile links

You can create a link to a user's profile like this:

@username

Embedding videos and images

You can easily embed a single image like so (this came from the Markdown spec):

You can also embed YouTube videos by wrapping the URL in brackets (specific to SpaceDock):
