Hi, sorry this isn't the rightnolace for this burning couldn't find an appropriate forum thread.

I've tried to strikethrough with <s>, [s] and ~~ but haven't had any luck. Which is the correct format for doing text modification in these forums please?

Im a newbie here ... thanks for any help and for those people who've built and maintained such a great little community.

Hey @RockpenguinPoké! 👋

The community form is Markdown-based.

For Strike-through, you should be able to use ~~ to modify the text. Please make sure you are putting ~~ both before and after the applicable text with no space between the ~~ characters and the text. You also shouldn't have any characters before the first ~~ and after the second ~~ (e.g., [~~text~~] won't work whereas ~~text~~ will).

In the future, this thread is the best resource for any all questions regarding the community forum: https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/13459/forum-assistance-requests/p1

Here are a few examples of different text modifications you can use! 😄
Strike-Through: ~~ text ~~
Bold: ** text **
Italics: * text *

List: - text
Bulleted List: * text
Numbered List: 1. text
