Markdown & Posting Guide
Last Updated: February 07, 2026
Welcome to the TrickBD community! When you create a thread or reply, you write plain text, and Markdown turns it into beautiful formatting automatically.
Rule of thumb:
You type symbols like **, #, - and Markdown converts them when your post is published.
Markdown Basics (How to Actually Write It)
Below, you’ll always see:
What you type → What users will see

Code Blocks (Very Important for Developers)
Use three backticks before and after your code:
console.log("Hello TrickBD");
→
```console.log("Hello TrickBD");```
Pro Tips (This Prevents 90% of Mistakes)
- Leave a blank line between sections
- Always close symbols (
**,`,~~) - Preview mentally: “I type symbols → system formats it”
- For code, never use screenshots — always code blocks
You don’t click buttons to format text. You type Markdown, and TrickBD handles the rest.
If you can type plain text — you already know Markdown.
Happy posting 🚀
