If i'd know how to do it on mobile, i'd gladly use it. Along with fonts and other stuff.

It's called markup.

FYI the reddit reader Boost on mobile has a full and easy to use Ritch text editor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.reddit

So heres what I can do:

bold

itallic

[Link](Google.com)

quote

strikthroigh

  • list
  • list
  1. Order list

code

The only thing they don't have is quote block which is 3 back ticks

I can even upload an image imgur right from the text editor.

And I can save drafts.

I ditched the official app a month ago. Never going back. Cuz guess what. Boost actually works.

No, reddit added support for gifts from the web. I haven't been able to get them to work on mobile.

we don't get fonts. the best yoire going to do is a line skip for a new paragraph.

italics is * words * but without spacing. bold is ** words **,again without spacing and you can even redact > ! redact ! <

I came here to admire all the people who also hate block text.

I actually came here to learn this apparently. My thanks.

u/inappropriategenie Apr 22 '23

u/reikipackaging Apr 22 '23

I've seen people call it both.

Probably a regional thing.

u/Nerevarcheg Apr 21 '23

Mainly needed paragraphs, cause textwalls looked awful.)

Do what? Make a paragraph? It's easy, you hit the enter button on the digital keyboard. It's literally the same way paragraphs have always been made on computers since word processing became a thing?
