When you are creating your page and you want to change the size of text to be displayed you need certain commands before and after text in order to create design. With a space between words and command you need a # sign to enlarge the words. Example: # Topic # This boost the size to largest font. The size go down in size by 3 steps. # Largest ## Medium ### Small (None) Normal For making font bold you need ** with no space before and after the text. Example: **Subtopic** Makes item Bold. ** Bold *** Bold Italics If you use _ before and after with no spacing you get Italics that are not Bold Example: _Italics_ _ Italics If anyone has more information they would like to add to this topic by all means please add to it. It helps when you are trying to write out your campaign details.

Below the campaign description box, you can see the text " You can use Markdown formatting". This is also true of the Bio field on your profile. Markdown is a lightweight formatting syntax (as opposed to "markup" languages like HTML, SGML, TeX, etc.). You can see the full documentation for Markdown at <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax" rel="nofollow">http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax</a>

Anyone try the Markdown for placing an image in your Bio or Campaign Description? Wondering if that particular markdown code works. I know bold and italics work. I'll have to try the Image code and see. <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax" rel="nofollow">http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax</a>...

Alright, so I have tried the image tag inside the format for the markdown and have no luck with creating it. All it does is create a link to the file but doesn't actually show the pictures. The closest I was able to come was having a link to the website picture for reference but unable to actually get it to work. Here is a link to a future campaign in the works to see how I used the format. Future Campaign Creation

Actually, if I understand it correctly, most of the commands were disabled long time ago due to misuse and abuse by people.

I can completely understand that although for some reason I find it hard to abuse it unless someone was loading thousands of pictures. I have managed to get a lot of the basic paragraph and indent breaks to work, which has given my campaigns a more enhanced view. In my opinion it makes things so much clearer then just a set of massive text. Thanks for allowing the ones that exsist.

I have discovered that not all of the Markdown formatting works. I have tried as many as I could fine, and aside from the list above here a few others that work on Campaign page. Link with out entire address You need to make sure that the brackets are there for the description and the parentheses for the link. Make sure there is no spacing between the brackets and the parentheses. Example: [Description Example](link to the site) Blockquotes One that is a little tricky is the paragraph indents known as Blockquotes (Blockquotes does not work personal profile page ) Using &gt; for you indent, you need one to indent one time, then you need another between lines before you can add a double indent. &gt; Indent &gt;&gt; Double Indent &gt;&gt;&gt;Triple indent Etc (add one additional &gt; for each additional indent, not sure on limit of indentation) Example: Campaign (no indent) &gt; &gt;Indented one time &gt; &gt;&gt;Second Indent &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; Third Indent. I like to add one more on the bottom but don't believe it is required. &gt; Creating a simple line While this line is very faint to see on my computer I hope it is much clearer on everyone elses computer. You have to Put 3 - (dash) or 3 * (asterisk) symbols with a space between them. Example: * * * or - - - Remember that in order for this to work you have to have the symbols on a line completely by themselves to create the divider.

It's like a white line, on a white background, and has a faint grey shadow that shows up. Still, excellent research. Thanks for your post and clear instructions for Blockquote and Line / Horizontal Rule. The Dragon's write-up should be added somewhere into the Wiki Docs of Roll20... (?)

Most of the commands work, by the way. It was a long time ago (it was when I just became a mod) that I happen to catch a piece of talk about it. That is why I said "If I understand correctly" but should have said understood instead, sorry for the wrong tense. The commands could have been re-enabled since then also. I've played with some of the basic markdown commands but not many of them. Just never needed to.

The only time that I use the markdown is on the campaign page, other then that I don't really need them. But I am a bit picky about how I have my stuff laid out. I just things to look readable with a lot of information.

I have attached my code for one of my campaigns for markdown use. Here is the link to the Site. (London Mystery) So you can see how it is applied and also have access to the code to view how to do it using markdown editing. ## Campaign Details &gt; &gt;**Campaign Start Date:** ---- &gt;**Play time:** ---- &gt;**Requirement:** Voice Chat on Roll20.net through Skype, no video will be broadcasted. &gt;**Entry Requirement:** Skype, and Mic ## Introduction &gt;_January 7th 1899_ &gt;&gt;_An overcast of fog slowly creeps over the city of London on a dark moonless night. The London streets overflowing with the hustle of the nightly entertainment, while street lamps glow eerily through the amassing fog. A massive aged galley pierce through the fog as it slows to a halt, and docks in the London shipyard, while huge in size this ship barely looked sea worthy but for those of little currency was fortunate enough to gain passage. A large group of new commoners have recently arrived by port after a long journey though the English Channel and the Thames River. Crowds of Englishman and Englishwomen stand amongst the busy port awaiting friends and family as well as to greet those who are unfamiliar to this new land. The captain dressed in old rags and a tethered long cloak, with a mighty fine captain's hat steps out onto the belly of the ship. The captain shouts across the galley deck after the ship drops it crosswalk for the crew and passengers to depart, "We be at London, mates, all you're people exit the port side ye herr"._ ## Campaign Information &gt;This world takes place just about the turn of the 1900 century where the brink of technology was just starting to come into phase. You had horse drawn carriages, Some cities had electricity for lights but not widely spread and a glow no brighter than a well lit torch, while other still worked on candle light and torches. Weapons like firearms, black powdered rifles were widely used and often the most common weapon aside from small knives. Wars and corruption was at the height of most conflicts between nations, and random murders went unknown. Crime was high and official often never caught criminals and hire detectives to investigate. &gt;&gt;Supernatural events have been known to happen, legends, rumors, and things that haunt the night. ## Character Creation &gt; **Campaign planned level Progression:** &gt; &gt;&gt; Level 20 &gt; **Starting Level:** &gt; &gt;&gt; 5th Level &gt; **Current level:** &gt; &gt;&gt; Starting Level 5th &gt;**Hit Points** - &gt; &gt;&gt;HP is max at first level and average after First &gt;**Level Progression:**: &gt; &gt;&gt;Fast _experience is awarded per encounter or nightly_ &gt;**Class Restrictions:** &gt; &gt;&gt;No 3rd party Material **(no exceptions)** &gt;**Feats:** &gt; &gt;&gt;No 3rd party Material (no exceptions) &gt; &gt;&gt;All Players know how to use a simple handgun. &gt;**Alignment restriction:** &gt; &gt;&gt;No Evil _(CN is also not allowed as most people interpret it as freely motivated to do anything)_ &gt;**Race Restrictions:** &gt; &gt;&gt;Human, Half-elf, Elf, Halfling and Dwarf, Android _(Mechanical failure in the new world)_, Oread &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;_All races appear human in some form or another.

There are no small coins for simplicity; however, that will make certain items appear inflated. For Game terms, if it cost gold its 2 gold per Euro, and anything less is 1 Euro regardless of coin. PP is interpreted as 10 Euro. &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;Example: Longsword cost 15gp or 30 Euro &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;**Accepted Sites for material are currently:** [D20pfsrd](<a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.d20pfsrd.com</a>) or [Paizo](<a href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/</a>) &gt;**World Advancement:** &gt; &gt;&gt;Some cities had electricity for lights but not widely, spread and a glow no brighter than a well-lit torch, while other still worked on candle light and torches. Weapons like firearms, black powdered rifles were widely used and often the most common weapon aside from small knives. &gt;**Background:** &gt; &gt;&gt;All players are required to provide a brief story of around 100-250 words and relate to the world as close as possible. &gt;**Hero Points:** &gt; &gt;&gt;No hero Points _All players benefit from Anti-hero benefit and_ *gain one additional feat.* &gt;**Template Restrictions:** &gt; &gt;&gt;No Templates allowed &gt;**Experience:** &gt; &gt;&gt;Experience is awarded normally and players must keep track of their experience. Missed sessions will not award player experience. &gt;**Treasure:** &gt; &gt;&gt;I award treasure each game session; sometimes depending on situation, it will be awarded each encounter. &gt;**Spell Restrictions:** &gt; &gt;&gt;All spells are harder to cast and as a result require a full round to cast. &gt;**Item Restrictions:** &gt; &gt;&gt;All Magic items are restricted unless found. Magic while exist is very rare and hard to create. The DC to create magic items is double traditional rules. &gt;**Missed sessions** &gt; &gt;&gt;If you miss more than 2 sessions back to back you will be removed from the game unless you have a valid reason for your absence. &gt;**Downtime:** &gt; &gt;&gt;This game will continue on its normal progression; however, there will be times when characters level up and other non-essential portions that gives players a chance to build bases or homes. Leveling up is instant and doesn't require training, your skill level has just improved. &gt;**Token Labels:** &gt; &gt;&gt;Tokens are Green= HP / Black = AC / Blue = Elevation from ground &gt;**Player Details**: &gt; &gt;&gt;Required age 18+, provide a little player background and some experience in RPG pathfinder or DND &gt;**Min/Max:** &gt; &gt;&gt;If you think you can break the system for your character that is your choice, just remember that the more powerful you create your characters the harder I have to build the creatures, and I would prefer not to have to make impossible challenges for players, especially for those who don’t min/max. If you want to be good at one thing that is fine, but just remember not to overdo it, because if you can do, so can I. &gt;**Macro Commands:** &gt; &gt;&gt;Please use macros to help increase efficiency of the game.

That is a very attractive campaign description layout, The Dragon. You've made the best-use of the limited layout options and typographic styles available. There are some extra-steps like the Picture Links , which, while not embedding the picture, it still works nicely for opening the image. That's an extra step that most campaigns/GM's don't use on the Description (traditionally, on Roll20, to date, I haven't seen that presentation style used much in the LFG or my GM's). It's a nice enhancement that should see more adoption due to this posting. Breaking up the wall of text with such readable indentation and headlines is not hard, it just requires a look at that Markdown code or even copying The Dragon's code and changing details to suit my campaign. Great use of Roll20-limited Markdown code . GM's / Campaign owners take a look!
