Manifold Text Editor Tips and Tricks
Nov 4, 2025

Here are a bunch of things you might want to do in the text editor, they can be hard to discover:

\%title -> /DanielNielsenIC50/what-is-the-risk-of-each-of-the-rol

\@Lion -> @Lion username tags

\@mods -> @mods tag the moderators to look at an issue

\@creator -> @creator tag the market creator to alert them

\@tradders -> @traders tries harder to push a notification through to traders in the market, should be used by the market creator for important updates

\:bee: -> ๐Ÿ types an emoji by name, with a popup

\*italic* -> italic

\**bold** -> bold

\~~strikethrough~~ -> strikethrough

\||spoiler|| -> spoiler

\`highlight code` -> highlight code

``` code block

\# header 1

\## header 2

\### header 3

\#### header 4

  1. 1. numbered list

  • * bullet list

  • - bullet list

  • + bullet list

> blockquote

\--- horizontal line

If I forgot any, let me know.

@Eliza I had tried to put this in the Post content but it wasn't working. It did work now when I edited it. ๐Ÿคท

I tried using "#" for a header but it didn't work. Maybe I did something wrong.

Example: https://manifold.markets/post/bring-back-the-subsidized-toggle#8dq0CCSO

# header

@MiguelLM

I think it only works in the top level post like market description.

@Eliza it makes sense. Thanks!

I will try it the next time I create a new market

e.g. \:bee: => ๐Ÿ

@snazzlePop thanks. Any idea how can I preview the emoji before clicking send? I'm not sure if the name is OK until I see the result

Is the list of emoji names anywhere?

\:question:

Eliza

@MiguelLM You get to preview it -- when you start typing it shows the popup menu with all the options, like if I type ":think" I get a popup and select ๐Ÿค”

No mention of @traders ?
