I’d rather if you left it up—there isn’t a general “how to use Less Wrong features” that I know of, so people are still finding out things like the unspeakably annoying mismatch between formats for articles and comments by cultural transmission.
Apparently it doesn’t use markup, you can directly edit links and the like with the tools at the top of the edit bar. There’s also a button to edit the raw html.
Now I’ll have to learn HTML (panics). Being a transfer student from the TV Tropes fora, which was my first forum ever, I might have overestimated myself and tried to run before I could walk...
blockquote helpfully adds blank lines before and after the quoted block, so that it’s harder to read your html because you have to leave the blank lines out
text puts a line through your text—I don’t use istrike much, but it’s handy for being a wiseass
It seems I have gotten my editing wrong somehow. Again
Is it okay if I delete this now that the problem is solved?

Yeah, the editing format for top-level posts isn’t the same as for comments :P A bit silly …
I haven’t been able to find a helpful “help” button there. Would you happen to know where the markup help is?

My HTML is a bit rusty, but I believe the tag you want is:
Text goes here
That should do for a quick fix.
Thank you!
That HTML tag does not work on this blog.
The construction that you want is [Text goes here] (URL goes here) without a space between the ] and the (.
Click on Help just to the bottom right of the edit box (when you are editing) to see this and more.
Discussion is on changing the text of post, not a comment. The comment syntax doesn’t work in posts.
You don’t need all of html. I get by with about half a dozen tags.
text italics
text bold
text

They didn’t seem to work, like they were turned off or something. Thanks all the same.
