basic markdown:

one asterisk on each side is *italics* (italics)
two asterisks on each side is **bold** (bold)
three asterisks on each side is ***both!*** (italic and bold!)

two equal signs on each side is ==highlight== (highlight!!)
two tildes on each side is ~\~strikethrough~\~ (without slashes, strikethrough!!)
an exclamation point and a greater than sigh is !>spoilers (spoiler!)

an exclamation point and a tilde on each side is !~underline~! (underline!!)*

a percentage mark followed by a color, then another percentage; and two percentage signs to close the brace adds % red %color %%
(without spaces, color!!)*

-/> center </-
-/> right -/>
no alignment for left, it's default
