Text Formatting

Tango Timetable uses a text formatting style called Markdown for text like descriptions. Markdown allows you to include simple formatting in the text that you enter on this site. It is a common standard that is used by many websites for this task.

It allows you to include emphasis, links and lists in your text in a reasonably easy and friendly manner.

Bold

In order to make a word or phrase appear in bold, you surround it with double asterisks like this.

There are classes **every** Thursday.

This will display as:

There are classes every Thursday.

Italic

A single asterisk either side of the word or phrase will make it italic.

There are classes *every* Thursday.

This will display as:

There are classes every Thursday.

Underlining

Underscores can be used to make a word or phrase appear underlined.

There are classes _every_ Thursday.

This will display as:

There are classes every Thursday.

Links

You can include links to other pages on Tango Timetable or on the wider internet by using the [link text](link location) formatting. So for example:

I use [Tango Timetable](https://www.tangotimetable.com) for finding Tango events.

Will appear as:

I use Tango Timetable for finding Tango events.

Lists

Markdown also includes support for numbered and plain lists. The numbered lists work like this:

Remember to bring:

1. Shoes
2. Comfortable clothing
3. A sense of fun

This will display like:

Remember to bring:

  1. Shoes
  2. Comfortable clothing
  3. A sense of fun

And plain lists work in a similar way but you use dashes for each list item:

Remember to bring:

- Shoes
- Comfortable clothing
- A sense of fun

This will display like:

Remember to bring:

  • Shoes
  • Comfortable clothing
  • A sense of fun

Advanced

There are a few more things you can do with Markdown. If you would like to find out more you might find the guides below useful.

However, you should know that we limit the functionality a little on this site. For example, tradionally you can write HTML in Markdown documents but represents a security risk on a public website so we don't allow that.

We also defer from the standard by respecting new lines in blocks of text instead of only dealing with double new lines. This is a subtlety but makes it a little easier to work with.
