No update of substance, so here's an update of pure candy fluff.

I'm making some cupcakes for a friends daughters birthday. Tonight I made some of the stuff that goes on top of the cupcakes. The youtube tutorial I was attempting to follow said that they are supposed to be succulents. My attempt tomorrow with a slightly looser icing might be a bit neater. These took a bit too much hand strength to be as tidy as I would like.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, Twitter, and Spotify urls will embed the content automatically.

Image URLs (.png, .tif, .gif, and .jpg) will embed automatically.

In my experience, doing something for the second time usually goes about 500% better than the first time. These already look awesome, so attempt #2 is probably going to be outstanding. Can we get an update? :)
