Backticks… 1 single ` before and then after allows for code to display and is used in my examples. (You find this left of the number 1 for those who may not know)

More cmplicated ways for the same thing
[code]put what in here[/code]

…or for long code pastes using 3 backticks 1 line above saves putting one at the end or each line. Anything on the first line is hidden

3 Backticks

Close with 3 more on a new line

I started to include that, as it’s in my list, but it’s easier to use the image

Thank you, Rob!!
I’ve been trying to figureout the strikethrough for months without highlighting it, and as hard as I tried, I just couldn’t find it on google or YouTube. The blur is cool; that’s a new one for me.

Can we change font color in markdown here? :thinking: I know it’s not native, but neither two of the html workarounds that I found work here, either.

11

These have never worked for me in the past.

<font color="red">This text is red!</font>

This text is red!

12

Text color changes I think are disabled by default because of the effects the dark and light modes/templates can have on them

Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut for logging out of SAS? No big deal - I just tend to dip in and out of the site frequently in short visits when I take a work break or to check for new posts relevant to me. The only way I know to logout takes 3 steps: click on Account icon, then click on the Profile icon, then click on Logout - it seems there should be a more direct path.

Thanks!

I believe it is hold shift and double tap Z.

15

Yes! That works - thanks!

Any chance you’ve mapped a key to double-tap Amabots? :upside_down_face:
