Yes. It's a modification of markdown. Some syntax is the same, but there are a few differences.
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. Blank lines separate paragraphs. Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font. URLs become links. Text can link to URLs by using the following format: /linked text Image URLs (.png, .tif, and .jpg) will embed automatically.user-inactivated · 3799 days ago · link ·

Yo. As someone who didn't really use reddit to much, some of this is a bit confusing to me. If I want to make certain text link to a certain website, I gather from this that i would to the / before the text thing. My question is, where does the link go? As in, how does it know where to link the text to? Furthermore, does imputing a link to a video automatically paste that link as the video itself in the post?
