Formatting
On TalkSpar, you can use Markdown formatting.
Inline formatting

| Code | `text` | text |
| Strikethrough | ~~text~~ | |

| Image embeds* |  |
* We have customized image embeds to add pop-overs and operate on a whitelist system. Embeds from known safe image hosts will use a pop-up display as demonstrated here. Attempted embeds to non-whitelisted sites will be converted into a link. The whitelist may be viewed here.
Block formatting
These Markdown tags format an entire paragraph of text at a time.

Custom Formatting
We also have some custom hooks for mentioning users and guilds. Note that these only work if the mentioned user or guild actually exists.
