I have had a lot of car time with the family this weekend. My daughter is genuinely curious about music and bands now. She is asking all the right questions.

Today's lesson, Michael Jackson. Listened to a bunch of his solo work then asked if she wanted to hear him and his brothers when he was little. She said "yes." I played ABC and she said "wow, how old was he?"

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.
