Markdown Features on Website

Hey there! Here are some useful Markdown Syntax that might be helpful when using our website. If you have no idea what Markdown Syntax is, it is basically a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. 

It is designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats. 

Here are some examples of Markdown Syntax.

~ **bold text** – For bold text 

~ *italic text* – For italic text 

~ `inline code` – For `inline code`

How do we define words?

Hi there This is Alex again! 

After reading our first blog,*I assume you did, if not, click the link below.

Blog / Welcome!

 you must have understood the purpose of creating such a website. 

Now comes the question, how do we take advantage of this platform and share our understanding of words and phrases? We will be talking about it in a minute but first, let me introduce you guys our user interface. 

Main Bar: 

Over here, we have five choices, “Home,” “Browse,” “About,” “Shop,” and “User Profile” (there are some more bars under About and User Profile selection). 

Side Bar: 

In this part, recent posts, blogs, and comments are displayed. 

  • IMPORTANT: The search bar above Side Bar is currently not working. To find words defined by others, go to the “Browse” page and find the “Scope” icon, and then type the words you are looking for (If no one defines it, perfect! You get a chance to be the first person to define the words! Also it is perfectly fine to define same words multiple times). 

Browse: 

After clicking the “Browse” button, the website automatically will redirect users to the “Say what is on your mind” page, where words are defined. In the meantime, users can friend each other as we do on any typical social network. 

About: 

Let’s get in touch with the Chinese Urban Dictionary Team! 

Shop: 

We are currently working on this page. We will be selling some customized merchandise on this page to cover our website’s daily maintenance expenses and raise funds for unique activities (Customized products include special T-shirts, mugs, and anything you could imagine). 

User Profile: 

User information is stored and displayed over here. 

Steps to define: 

  1. Start defining with a hashtag (#). This helps our filter to find information correctly. 
  2. After typing a hashtag (#), type the word you want to define.
  3. Give sufficient and unique definitions! 
  4. Use it in a sentence. 
  • If possible, attaching some images when submitting your definitions is preferred. 
  • There is no limitation on ways of defining words. You can even define it with a joke!
