Using Markdown Links
What is Markdown?
The goal of Markdown is to provide a way of writing plain text that is easily read and understood by people, while also making it easy for software to convert into a richly formatted document (usually HTML).
If that sounds complicated - don't worry! ChatSuey only borrows Markdown's hyperlink syntax:
Markdown Links in WoW
In vanilla WoW, the two main types of links you can create are item links and player links. Here's an example of both using Markdown:
[Linen Cloth](item:2589)[Scott Hamper](player:Chatsuey)
You can find IDs for items at
db.vanillagaming.org
- just look at the ?item= part of an item page's URL.
ChatSuey differs from traditional Markdown in that you can optionally specify a color for the link inside a set of curly braces at the end:
[Did Somebody Say...](item:19019){legendary}
If you're familiar with hexidecimal, you can also specify a color in an ARGB
format. For example, {ffff8000} is equivalent to {legendary}.
