The Post Editor in Galaxie Blog has basic markdown support. Markdown is often used by authors to quickly create a post by typing in special markdown characters to format a post without having to use a mouse.  Galaxie Blog supports many basic markdown patterns. I may program more markdown support in Galaxie Blog in the future if this proves to be a popular feature. 

To use the markdown features, type in the markdown character and the text that you want to be converted right after the markdown character. The text will be converted on the fly to HTML. 

Note: markdown will not work when inserting a code sample as we have done below.

Galaxie Blog supports the following markdown patterns:

#formats the text after the pound sign to bold
*Italic
**start end** formats bold
#h1 
##h2
###h3
####h4
#####h5
######h6
1convert to ordered list
*convert to unordered list
-convert to unordered list.
