Yes I forgot about that!
Markdown is the formatting language that Steemit, Hive, Blurt and Wordpess all use. If everyone used it, it would be easy to copy posts from one platform to another, and it's easy to learn - eg:
https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/
so by putting ## in front of text it apears bigger
But Bastyon (Bless as @lucylin would say) frigging don't use Markdown, so rendering the site useless for long form blogging
an asterix at each end of the sentence above - no spaces - puts it into italics
So platforms like Bastyon are handing Blurt a massive opportunity on a plate

Ohhh, that's what the formatting type we're using is called. Thanks! I think I self-learned all of those since starting up on Steem, except maybe the "code" one. Is that how you can sorta hide code that would otherwise mess up a page? I don't really use most of them regularly though, generally preferring the pointy brackets and h2 for large headings, b for bold, etc.
