Formatting your text
Your bio, your event descriptions, and your community page all understand Markdown, the same formatting GitHub uses. Here is everything that works, with the result beside it.
Bold and italic
**Bold** for the part that matters, and *italic* for a light touch.

Images are removed. A picture in your text would load from another website, and that site would learn who read your page and from where. Upload a photo to your profile or your event instead.
HTML is ignored. Typing <b> shows those characters rather than making anything bold. This is what stops somebody pasting something harmful into a page other people read.
Every heading is the same size. One # or six makes no difference. Headings mark a section here; they do not set how loud it is, so your text can never out-shout the page around it.
Links you write always open in a new tab, so nobody loses the page they were reading.

- Your community page
A bio is limited to 2000 characters. There is more room than most people use, but it is not unlimited.
