Things to note:

  • To keep things simple, there's no preview mode or formatting toolbar.

  • When using multi-line code, blank lines are collapsed by default. Adding a "space" character will allow you to have a blank line.

  • Embedding videos supports videos hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, & Wistia.
