How do I post a unicode shrug?

* Category
* Subcategory - put two spaces in front of *
* Subsubcategory - put four spaces in front of *

  • Category
    • Subcategory
      • Subsubcategory

Fancier lists:

  1. This is a paragraph belonging to list element labeled 1. Like all number lists, I simply started with the number, a period, then a space and it automatically handled the indentation. Wrapping should be handled automatically, so let’s ramble on a bit. It certainly seems to be working properly.

    This is the second paragraph belonging to list element 1. I hit enter twice for the new line and then entered three spaces and it automatically shifts over.

  2. This is list element labeled 2. just to show how this all works. Like the first list item, I simply typed a 2 then a period, then a space.

Pretty useless on a message board, but checkboxes are easy:

[] Pick me!
[] No me!

Pick me!
No me!

Perhaps you would like a horizontal line to break up sections of your post:

--- or three asterisks or many other combinations, but I find the dashes easier to remember


That’s probably enough Markdown for now. Next we’ll start bugging @Ed_Zotti to give us LaTeX-like formatting abilities via the Discourse Math plugin and get really crazy with our posts. :1234:
