Thanks, I didn't need to know what Markdown is, but thanks :)

I asked you because it seemed strange that a user with 120 points and 9 months of usage didn't know yet that this site doesn't support Markdown or anything close, and I wondered if they added some support lately without me noticing.

The only markup/formatting supported by Hacker News is what's described at https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc .
