Block Text Entry: Tips and Tricks

When you see the line Compose mode, write @ on new line to quit]: , you're in block text entry mode.

Block text entry has two settings: formatting and non-formatting.

• In formatting mode, your text will be wrapped to the default line wrap length (currently 80 characters), and for certain blocks it will also be indented like a paragraph (chiefly seen in redit descriptions).
• In non-formatting mode, the text will appear exactly as you enter it.
  • To enter non-formatting mode, type /**/ at the beginning of the very first line you enter. This will skip formatting for the text you enter.

To add an empty line between paragraphs, hit enter on a new, blank line. Alternatively, if you're copy-pasting multiple blocks at once and want to have them separated, put the neutral color code ^n on each blank line to ensure it's counted.
