We use a system called Markdown to format the text in your edits on Open Library. Some HTML formatting is also accepted. Paragraphs are automatically generated from any hard-break returns (blank lines) within your text. You can preview your work in real time below the editing field.
Formatting marks should envelope the effected text, for example: <strong>This text is bold</strong> OR **This text is also bold**
| The format | HTML | Markdown |
|---|---|---|
| Italic | <em> </em> (preferred) or <i> </i> | * * or _ _ (single underscores) |
| Bold | <strong> </strong> (preferred) or <b> </b> | ** ** or __ __ (double underscores) |
| Line Break |
<br/> | Line breaks are automatically inserted. Two line breaks institute a new paragraph: <p></p>. |
Blockquote |
<blockquote> </blockquote> | Preceed copy with > |
Headers |
<h1>Enormous Headline</h1> <h2>Big Headline</h2> <h3>Average Headline</h3> etc. to <h6>Small Headline</h6> |
# Enormous Headline ## Big Headline ### Average Headline, etc. to ###### Small Headline |
|
<ol> <li>Item One</li> <li>Item Two</li> </ol> |
1. Item One 2. Item Two |
|
<ul> <li>First bullet</li> <li>Second bullet</li> </ul> |
* First bullet * Second bullet |
| Links | This is <a href="http://example.com/" title="Title">an example</a> inline link. | This is [an example](http://example.com/ "Title") inline link. |
| Images | <img src="/path/to/img.jpg" title="Title" alt="Alternate label" /> |  |
To "escape" any Markdown tags (i.e. use an asterisk as an asterisk rather than emphasizing text) place a backslash prior to the character.
