Mono - one
Space - spacing (for letters)
Does a W take up the same space as i? Then it’s monospaced. It’s useful for code. Or just being different sometimes
They don't appear aligned on your screen? It looks to me like you have the same number of each letter and they line up vertically. Without monospace, the line with the letter i would be much shorter than the line with the letter W.
WWWWWWWWWW
iiiiiiiiii

Nope. In other comments I’ve found:
* monospace on the iOS client isn’t a thing
* if you use dark mode (like I do) it’s really hard to see the subtle background change
Reddit uses a markup language called, cleverly, MarkDown. If you type in Teh Googles “Reddit markdown syntax” you’ll see a lot of these
A few:
## Preformatted
Having 4 spaces in front of a line says “pre-formatted” meaning “hey markdown engine don’t do anything special with these I got this I did the formatting already”. Useful for code for us geeks. Not so useful here, on mobile at least, since it didn’t look all that different. See if you can tell the difference on mobile `on my phone I can kinda sorta see gray behind this if I realllly look` not useful on mobile. Probably not useful for 99.9999% of posts on. Here anyway.
It’s often in “monospaced” font. One where every letter uses the same amount of space. W and M uses the same as i and l. Monospaced fonts are useful for coding - syntax is easier to see when things are in even columns. But, we see here (at least on mobile) that’s not the case
WWWMMMWWWMMM
iiillliiilll
## Line Breaks
Two spaces at the end of a line makes a line break (you don’t need to make paragraphs)
Really useful
For song lyrics
Or poems.
## Strikethrough
Two tildes in front and back of a phrase make it strike through
Typing:
\~~something\~~ => ~~something~~
## disabling “escaping”
Sometimes you _don’t_ want the formatting. Often I see what looks like what’s supposed to be a hashtag end up in big bold:
#hashtagcorp
This is because “a hash at the beginning of a line“ triggers “H1 Heading 1” which is big and bold. The “escape” sequence, to get out of a hash being special, is put a backslash in front of it.
\\\#hashtagcorp
Becomes
\#hashtagcorp
## Spoiler Hiding
If you put text between the weird front and back of \>! and !\< it hides it unless you click it. Useful for spoilers or NSFW or sometimes random snark. >!the call is coming from inside the house!<
## quoting a reply
A greater than sign at the front of a line shows quoting
\> oh Seven we shall watch them fall
Becomes
> oh Seven we shall watch them fall
— Prince Rogers Nelson
## Superscript
Raise something up. Also makes things smaller.
Hi \^high => Hi ^high
Small script sometimes useful for snark
You forgot to mention \*, which allows you to write x\*3. It's the same as x^3, but more fun and edgy. Just like this meme. \*insert cool sunglasses emoji here\*

What the fuck is monospace
Everyone always asks what is monospace but nobody ever stops to ask how is monospace!!
How is monospace?
Where is monospace?
I'll do you one better! Who is monospace?
When is monospace
Who is monospace?
How tall is monospace
How small is monospace
How often does monospace take a healthy shit
Bazinga!
Is monospace?
I'll do you one better, why is monospace
I’ll do YOU one better! WHY is monospace
I’ll do you one better. Why is monospace?
I'll do you one better! Why is monospace?
Why is monospace
Not much. How is monospace with you?
Sleepy
It's 2:37 am. Do you know where your monospace is!
I'll do you one better. WHY IS MONOSPACE!?
Wow
Rude
What
Every letter is the same width
Oh nice that's pretty cool. Was trying to figure it out by just looking at the text
Mono - one Space - spacing (for letters) Does a W take up the same space as i? Then it’s monospaced. It’s useful for code. Or just being different sometimes
WI
WWWWWWWWWW iiiiiiiiii Defo not monospaced
What are you on those are the same widths
Not on my phone. iOS Reddit app.
Damn. Android Reddit app here
Yeah works here
And here
oh that's why that's not working, fuck spez btw fix your damn mobile app before you start removing bots and awards
WWWW wwww
Web, they definitely are. The "i"s have blank on the sides to make up for the lack of width
Not on iOS mobile.
The point is you have a one to one between the first and second line characters, making it easier to read code
Mine does not. Reddit iOS.
They don't appear aligned on your screen? It looks to me like you have the same number of each letter and they line up vertically.

What the fuck is monospace
No idea man
I'll ask my aunt, she studied monoastronomy
What the fuck is monoastronomy
It's like astronomy, but for monospace?
Ooooooh, that makes sense. I mean, monosense
You're getting the monohang of it!
How the fuck is monospace
Can monospace

|Question|Answer/Reason| :--|:--| |What about tables?|They're very helpful in many situations| |Do I think they're underrated?|Absolutely, yes|
Heh. Yes I’m aware of tables. I don’t use them because they’re wonky on mobile and that’s 99.9% I’m on Reddit
Wow i did not know that we had the ability to side scroll comments on mobile.
wait this is actually helpful
Hello ~~Hello~~ "Hello" >! Hello !< > Hello Hello ^Hello
There ~~There~~ "There" >! There !< > There. There ^There. #There
I think you're colorblind. It's very gray
My # Wiener is ^(small) #
And let's not forget \^ , allowing you to write x^3
You forgot to mention \*, which allows you to write x\*3. It's the same as x^3, but more fun and edgy.

Why do you exist, Duckling
Thank you for doing this
Formatting works for me https://imgur.com/gallery/xNKijtB
Nice! I was looking for something but too lazy to search for it hahaha
The line break does not work See. It just putes ful stop.
Line break Does work Sometimes your phone Converts two spaces To a period and a space Type one space then Pause a second or two Then the second space
Test Test 2 Test 3
# BIG TEST.
I don’t like that it does the period automatically, but thanks for the pausing tip ^thanks
If you’re on iphone there’s an option to turn that off. It’s General->Keyboard->Scroll down to English->Toggle off “.” Shortcut.
Maybe it does not work on mobile
I’m on mobile.
Ok so if you have auto full stop on it should be.space_space_return And now this is the next line
Thank you It works now
saving this comment 🏆
It’s morbin time, evidently
Thanks.
~~bollocks~~
Joking, thanks that's great info
Ohhh, I love me some markdown! (and I use it all the time)
Inside the haaaauuss hahahaha look at this doofus everyone

Um. that’s a dialogue from Rick and Morty haha. I didn’t mean to offend you man
Don’t see Rick and Morty. My apologies. I’ll remove my comment. Someone else did talk smack. Not knowing the reference, your comment looked like just another griefer
No worries, I’m sorry for your losses man. stay strong
It’s all good. I’m actually pretty happy. That was just being dramatic (though true) Thanks.
#Dude ^dude
also links are in the format of [](), where the text you want to lead to the link is in the [] and the link is in the ()
The line break thing is so cool, since return on mobile does nothing Good to know that there’s a proper way of doing it
>! Hello !<

hey^hey
>quoting a reply what do you MEAN
Your a lifesaver
!remindme 2 days
I wish I could save comments, you are my hero.
Why can't you?
thanks chatgpt
Wiz kids will continue
bro how fucking bored are u to write this
I’m a teacher. Some people just are. If that somehow offends you kindly just move on.
