Markdown guide

NOTE: Since version 105.2.0 there is an optional HTML editor available for editing the petition message. Choose your editor in the settings page.

If you are using Markdown already, SpeakOut! will continue to use this editor until you choose to change it, you will then have to re-format your message in HTML.

Markdown is a simple way to format the petition message so that it looks great on any device. You can’t change the font size, colour, or type. But markdown is great for formatting the essentials, using keyboard symbols you already know.
