Both are correct. (I mean... if it WORKS, then it's correct... Or am I missing something? 🤔) Markdown is basically a dumbed down version of HTML. You can ALWAYS use HTML to work around the Markdown.
I use the asterisk because it's easier for me to reach on my keyboard and WAY more often used than the underscore. It would simply take me several extra (wasted) seconds to use the underscore. Plus, that asterist works in a LOT of other programs the same way... I'd have to check to see if the underscore does. But again, I wouldn't use it. It's just in an awkward place for me on the keyboard.
However, if that's your thing- do it. You do you. 😎
I wasn't trying to question you or be a jerk. I'm brand new to this. I want to be able to make my posts look better. What I pointed to was your cheatsheet vs the tutorial you posted. The only language I understand is MML. Thanks for this info though. I'm working on some drafts with your Markdown commands and hope to become more fluent. :)
I wasn't entirely sure. People tend to hide behind words (and fake names 🤣) sometimes just to be mean...
But, it still stands. Anything that works ... well, works. 😍
I picked and chose the easiest (for me) options in Markdown. Though I call this Ultimate, there's SO MUCH MORE. This list is what I use and find most helpful.
You may prefer to use the underscore. I just hate it. LOL! For real, it's in such a weird place. Who uses those keys? 😆 And I type pretty quickly, but that area... slows me right down.
You'll get used to it REALLY quickly. Don't worry. Most of the options I chose to highlight are easy to remember. Again... most everything I listed above has several other options to get at the same outcome. Such is life. 😉 You may find something you like better... I feel like that happens to me every day (I replace something I knew with something I've learned).
Good luck with formatting! Let me know if you have trouble or questions. It's often that you missed or added a space or one little character... but it can be oh-so-frustrating.
Awesome. Thanks for the reply and I'll contact you if I have questions. Again thanks for your help.
