  There was a place where you could practise them but i can't seem to find it

  ---

  Here is a small guide:
  For Quotes use >
  i.e.

  Quote

  ---

  For Bold Use 2 asterisk(*) or two underscores (_) on each side of the word you want bolded
  i.e. (without the slash/)
  /BOLD so that would look like
  BOLD

  ---

  For italics, Use 1 asterisk() or one underscore(_) on each side of the word you want italicized
  i.e. (without the slask/)
  /italic* would look like
  italic

  ---

  For bullet points use +, - , or * at the beginning of each sentence
  i.e. +Bullet—> But you need this on a new line, so it would look like

  • Bullet

  ---

  For BIG BOLD, use one # hash at the beginning of each line
  so it would look like

  BIG BOLD

  Right, stop posting the links to daring fireballs markdown, since most of the stuff does not work. I tried images, tables, so much stuff. Damn infuriating.

    images

    Images are disabled — actual image won't be displayed but just a link.

    tables

    Tried the Markdown Extra code?

    Heading 1	Heading 2	Heading 3
    Row 1 Col 1	Row 1 Col 2	Row 1 Col 3
    Row 2 Col 1	Row 2 Col 2	Row 2 Col 3
    Row 3 Col 1	Row 3 Col 2	Row 3 Col 3

    It should be working.

  Word Macro to Convert Hyperlinks to Markdown

  Here's a Word Macro that should make it easier to convert a Word doc with hyperlinks to OzBargain Markdown with similarly embedded hyperlinks. I modified the macro from a Microsoft answers post and left the original attribution in to give credit where is due

  Sub HyperLinkConvertToOzBargainMarkdown()
      ' Charles Kenyon 2020-07-19
      ' From https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/macro…
      ' Change hyperlink to html format <a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1112010">as reported in NEJM</a>
      '
      '
      ' Modified by Rygle 2022-12-02 to convert to Ozbargain Markdown format [Text Description](URL)
      '
      ' This is intended for a Word document where you have embedded hyperlinks in text
      ' and want to make it look similar in the Markdown syntax used by the https://ozbargain.com.au website
      '
      ' How to setup in Word
      ' Have your document setup with text and embedded hyperlinks
      ' Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor
      ' Select Insert | Module to create a new module
      ' Copy / paste this code in its entirety (from Sub to End Sub) into the module
      ' With the insertion point anywhere in the macro (between Sub and End Sub), press F5 to run the macro
      ' If you have multiple hyperlinks per line, you may need to run this macro several times until all are coverted
      ' It only seems to convert one hyperlink per line, per run. So a line with five hyperlinks will need five runs
      ' Extra runs should not damage already converted text
      ' Finally, switch back to Word.
  
      Dim oLink As Hyperlink
      Dim strText As String
      Dim strLink As String
      For Each oLink In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks
          Let strText = oLink.Range.Text
          Let strLink = oLink.Range.Hyperlinks(1).Address
          Let oLink.Range.Text = "[" & strText & "](" & strLink & ")"
          Next oLink
      Set oLink = Nothing
  End Sub

  Some great tools for bringing tables from HTML, Excel, or from Word (convert table to text/CSV with Tabs as separator, or commas but must have quotes around each entire cell)
