Many users are not aware that you can edit/format your articles and comments. Even some old users are not too familiar with all the things we could do to edit our writings-articles and/or comments. We all know about the 'editing toolbar' and what it does.

Let's take a look at the toolbars:

This is the context menu you will see hen you select a text/s in your article. We are all familiar with the use of these options.

°B for BOLD
°I for ITALIC
°U for UNDERLINE
°next one is the S that has a 
line is for STRIKETHROUGH
°<> is for inline code
°loops is for INSERTING A LINK
°P is for PARAGRAPH
°H1 is for HEADING
°H2 is for SUBHEADING
°lines/bullets for BULLET listing

And this one:

This is the toolbar is what you will see when you click on an empty space in your article. This is where you can format your article's style. 😉

°H1 for HEADING
°H2 for SUBHEADING
°PHOTO ICON to put a PHOTO
°PLAY(media) ICON to put a 
  VIDEO/AUDIO
°Bullets and lines for BULLET listing
°MESSAGE ICON for BLOCKQUOTE
° <> for CODE BLOCK
° $ for SPONSOR BLOCK

We also have this one:

We see this bar when we click on the media we inserted.

°Loops to put a link in the media
°2nd icon to move the media
°3rd icon to make the media your
  Lead image
°next 5 icons to arrange the
   position of the media
°2nd to the last icon is to put
  shadow in your media
°last icon (X) is to remove 
  the media

The two editor bars have similarities. They both have the 'heading and subheading' options and 'bullet list'. However, 'inline code' format is found in 'editing text toolbar' while (separate) code block or snippet is found in toolbar (2nd).

These are the basic things most users use to edit their articles. And others didn't realize that some of these outlines/options can also be used without having to use the toolbars and can be used in the comments section, one example is inserting a photo in the comments. Let's see how it's done and let's start to practice some of these to make our writings more attractive to readers.

Let's start....

• Photo in a comment

Create an article and upload the photo you want to insert in the comment and save as draft. DO NOT PUBLISH UNFINISHED DRAFTS. Click and hold the picture you want to insert and click 'copy image url/link text'. You can also use a photo from one's you published already. Just copy the image's URL/LINK.

Then insert the format in the comment section. Always remember to leave no space between ']' and '('

Format:

![photo.jpg](link of the the photo) 

Sample and result: You can try it too in the comments section.. 😊

![photo.jpg](https://sigma.rcimg.net/images/b/1/9/Jdine/8688954b/4cceb3bd780e935a89330c61eff49701.png)

It works on comments section, short post and full article! You can try to comment it down below or you can use your preferred image LINK/URL instead. Use the 'format' not the 'sample' if you want to use different photo.

Credits to @Dangerous_Fly for teaching me this format and thanks for @bboyady for teaching him. 😆Additional tip: For a photo in an article that you LEGALLY got from other website (no copyright images please😉):

copy the image (ctrl+C) and paste it in the article (ctrl+V) for desktop users and copy (press hold on an image, select 'copy image') then paste it in the article (press hold blank section of the article where you'll insert the image then select paste

• Insert a heading and subheading

This only applicable in writing an article. Not applicable to the comments section.

Format:

# Heading
## Subheading
### sub subheading 😜

Sample and result:

Heading

Subheading

Sub subheading 🤪

#### no more subsub subheadings 🤣

• BOLD FONT

There are many ways to do this actually even when you don't click on the format bar that pops up in readcash editor. This is also help others to make their comments (or parts of their comments) Italic.

Format:

**text**

Sample and result: **Hello, Sunshine!**

Hello, Sunshine!

• ITALIC FONT

It works in comments section. I don't know why it didn't work here in my article, though. Can you try it the next time you post an article then tell me if it worked for you. But for comments section, it definitely works.

Format:

*text*

Sample and result: *hello, sunshine!*

*hello,sunshine!*

(had to do it manually here cause it didn't work) Here's the photo for when you do it on comments section:

• STRIKETHROUGH:

Format:

~text~

Sample and result: hello,sunshine

hello,sunshine

• BULLET LIST

Format:

- text
- text

or

* text

Sample and result: - list or * list

• list

• list2

*Just press enter to move on to next list and double click enter to stop the listing

• Number list

Format:

1. text

Sample and result: 1. list

1. list

2. list2

*Just press enter to move on to next list and double click enter to stop the listing

• Blockquote

Blockquote box is also useful if you are inserting a quotation from another author and/or you're just simply making a quotation of your texts/paragraph to 'highlight' it like what I have been doing in this article. It is also used in the comments section where you want to 'quote' lines from the author to give feedback. like in this photo:

Format:

>text OR > text

Sample and result: >hello, sunshine for commenting and > hello, sunshine for articles

hello, sunshine

• Videos and Audio

There are sites/apps that readcash allows the embed of the media's player. These are YouTube, Vimeo, libre.video, SoundCloud and lbry.tv. Hopefully Readcash can support more in the future like Facebook Videos.

Format:

There's really no format for this. You can just paste the media's link in the article and the player will automatically appear like magic. 😅

Sample and result: https://youtu.be/iEBSMTrHwTk

(Kindly listen to the song. It's an original composition. not me, though. @heartbeat1515 how'd you like that? 😉)

• Inline Code

Inline code is used to put a code you don't want to execute yet like when you are teaching how to use that code. Inline code is for a 'variableName' or a short code. Other users use this just to make their article look intriguing and/or engaging. This code markup don't scroll vertically unlike code block. This also work on comments section.

Format:

`text`

Sample and result: `hello sunshine`

hello sunshine

• Code block

Code block is used to insert long codes that you insert to teach in your article. For others, they use code block just to spice up their article and make it look more remarkable. Instead of them putting in codes, they put something like a reminder or anything they feel like it. Like this sample photos below:

Format:

```text

Sample and result:

```text scrolls horizontally here

the text scrolls horizontally here says the sample. ooohn yes it does.. cool

*"Reminder"*

<To make your all text visible
vertically instead press ENTER 
to make it look like it is a 
paragraph, not a long 
one-line text and make all your 
texts visible vertically 
like this one

="awesome"=         =~JDINE~=
   =><=                =><=

• To do list:

Yes we can insert a to-do list or something similar in our articles and we can mark them with a check when done. Cool, huh?

Format:

[ ] To Do

Sample and result: [ ] to-do and press enter [ ] to-do2

*please put the gap or space between the "[" and "]" AND also put a space after "]" before typing your list1 for it to work. then just hit enter to continue to list2 after putting list1. CLICK ON THE BOX TO MARK IT DONE

• to-do

• to-do2

• Horizontal rule:

This is for articles. Like the line you see separating it into parts like a divider. It also works inside a blockquote. 😊

Format:

--- (for articles)
___ (for comments)

(three hyphens) and (three underscores)

Sample and result:

--- for articles

___ for comments

---

• Additional tips:

You can also do multiple format code combined when you feel like it.

You can put everything in a blockquote (see above article to check).

You can also use colors in a code block for fun. 😊

    |"Lets see how it works"|

    |<.Im guessing its pink.>|

        ("This is Amazing")

~I can't seem to come up 
with other colors 😅~

I will write a different article on how we can play with the code block. 😊

I hope you got entertained with this article! Thanks for reading. I'm looking forward to seeing you try these tips on the comment section below. 😊

Shout out to @Charlotte ! girl, here's how you can insert an image in the comments section!! 😊😊
