Some of the most common used formatting options are

You can also combine syntax for example ***[The Goblin's Notebook](https://www.the-goblin.net)*** (note the three asterisks either side) will make a hyperlink that is bold and italic.

There is a lot more that you can do with markdown and there are plenty of resources with the information, notably https://www.markdownguide.org/ where you can find out about many more formatting options such as tables and task lists.

The Goblin’s custom markdown

There is some non-standard markdown syntax that is valid only for The Goblin’s Notebook

Statblock Specific Custom Markdown

Create a clickable number

Automatic DND 5e modifiers

If you are using DND 5e, or a compatible system, then you can display modifiers that are automatically calculated from other numbers (e.g. the strength, dex, etc. modifiers) by using mod5e(value=fieldname[,show_symbol]) – See more

Digital Dice Rolling

Create a link that rolls some digital dice and gives you the result. Use rollable([dice=]dicenotation,[dicelabel=label text,label=label text]) – See more

Image Pins

Add pins to images to overlay links to other objects. Extend the image markdown by adding {} immediately afterwards to enable the pin frame then add other objects as pins – See more

Using HTML

For those who know how to write HTML code, you can also use that directly alongside or instead of markdown. HTML allows you complete control over the layout, but at the expense of a huge amount of complexity. You can float images, embed (some) other sites in iframes, or style tables as you need. Although this is possible, it is an advanced feature and won’t be covered in detail in guides here!
