Here are three substantial documents everyone should bookmark (or, bookmark this post):
Markdown Reference – The “Markdown” mark-up codes, much or all of which is used by Discourse.
BBCode tags reference – Our late lamented VBulletin mark-up tags reference, some more-or-less reasonable subset of which is also supported by Discourse.
GreysonCarlisle’s Discourse Tutorial Thread – Don’t be lulled by the title. This thread, posted on this board shortly after the switch-over, is no mere tutorial. It appears to be a fairly extensive user’s manual for Discourse users.
