Formatting Text¶
Markdown makes it easy to format messages. Type a message as you normally would, and use these rules to render it with special formatting.
Emojis¶
Open the emoji autocomplete by typing : followed by two characters. A full list of emojis can be found here. It is also possible to create your own Custom Emoji if the emoji you want to use doesn’t exist.

* item one
* item two
* item two sub-point
Renders as:

Make it an ordered list by using numbers instead:
1. Item one
1. Item two
1. item three
Renders as:
Item one
Item two
Item three
You can also start a list at any number:
4. The first list number is 4.

Code Block¶
Creating a fixed width code block is recommended for pasting multi-line blocks of code or other text output that is easier to read with fixed width font alignment. Examples include block text snippets, ASCII tables, and log files.
This can be accomplished in one of two ways:
Placing 3x backtics ``` on the line directly above and directly below your code
```
this is my
code block
```
TIP - Enter 3x backticks ```, SHIFT + ENTER, <type_your_code>, SHIFT + ENTER, and finally 3x backticks ```.
Indenting each line by four spaces
this is my
code block
^^^^ 4x spaces
Syntax Highlighting
To add syntax highlighting, type the language to be highlighted after the ``` at the beginning of the code block. Smeetin also offers four different code themes (GitHub, Solarized Dark, Solarized Light, Monokai) that can be changed in Account Settings > Display > Theme > Custom Theme > Center Channel Styles
Supported languages are:
actionscript, applescript, bash, clojure, coffeescript, cpp, cs, css, d, dart, delphi, diff, django, dockerfile, erlang, fortran, fsharp, gcode, go, groovy, handlebars, haskell, haxe, java, javascript, json, julia, kotlin, less, lisp, lua, makefile, markdown, matlab, objectivec, ocaml, perl, php, powershell, puppet, python, r, ruby, rust, scala, scheme, scss, smalltalk, sql, swift, tex, vbnet, vbscript, verilog, xml, yaml
Example:
``` go
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, 世界")
}
```

In-line Code¶
Create in-line monospaced font by surrounding it with backticks (`), not with single quotes (‘).
`monospace`
Renders as: monospace.
In-line Images¶
Add in-line images by using an exclamation mark followed by the alt text in square brackets then the URL of the image in round brackets. You can add hover text by placing the text in quotes after the link.
If the height of the original image is more than 500 pixels, the system sets the height at 500 pixels and adjusts the width to maintain the original aspect ratio.
You can set the width and height of the displayed image by using an equals sign and the width x height after the URL of the image. If you set only the width, the system adjusts the height to maintain the original aspect ratio.
Examples:
- Inline image with hover text
Renders as:
- Inline image with link
Note the extra set of square brackets.

Tables¶
Create a table by placing a dashed line under the header row and separating the columns with a pipe |. (The columns don’t need to line up exactly for it to work). Choose how to align table columns by including colons : within the header row.
| Left-Aligned | Center Aligned | Right Aligned |
| :------------ |:---------------:| -----:|
| Left column 1 | this text | $100 |
| Left column 2 | is | $10 |
| Left column 3 | centered | $1 |

Math Formulas¶
Create formulas by using LaTeX in a latex Code Block
```latex
X_k = \sum_{n=0}^{2N-1} x_n \cos \left[\frac{\pi}{N} \left(n+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{N}{2}\right) \left(k+\frac{1}{2}\right) \right]
