About

Makes it easier to write mini-markdown in comments, especially for new users on Stack Exchange. It introduces a toolbar and keyboard shortcuts.

Compliant with Stack Overflow Design Standards. ^{Does not use deprecated grid}

Use

To apply the effect, click the corresponding icons (or their shortcuts). They styles are listed as so:

When applying styles, you can either:

• First select the text to apply the style, then click the style icon. This will apply the style to the selected text.
• Directly click the icon. This will append the markdown style to the textarea with the cursor already in the proper position so you need not adjust the caret position.
