Hi,

I use discourse within another community and I’d like to create a well formatted and attractive thread. I have been searching for ways to do this with other “competitors” having menu bars and what not.

So I wondered if there was anyone out there, able to give me the education or information to insert some great formatting into a post or point me in the right direction to find it.

Thanks,
Mags.

What do you mean by formatting?

There is a menu bar for editing posts. I suggest you post a screenshot of what you want.

Hi,

Sorry about that, yes the post in question has inserted some sort of button into their coding. I was looking for some advice on how to do it, and any other little gems of knowledge people have about inserting code into a post.
