With an underscore, you can make things in bold or italic.

You can also make headings without four hashtags and/or no hashtags at the end

The formatting is known as "Markdown". There are sometimes a couple different ways of doing each formatting.

You can use asterisks or underscores each side for italic/bold. You can use asterisks or dashes at the start of a line for a list.

Headers are made by different numbers of hashes at the beginning of the line, the ones at the end don't matter. There should be 5 levels of headings (1 to 5 hashes, see below). You can also put equals symbols under a line to make the large heading, and dashes for second heading:

heading 1
=========

heading 2
---------

Hash headings:

heading 1

heading 2

heading 3

heading 4
heading 5

This is just the coding of the site, not an error.
I don't know exactly what it's called. Markdown, I think.

**bold**

*italics*

<s>strikethrough</s>

##small header##

#big header#

big header
---

That's pretty much all I know.

We can do strikethrough?
