- Bold Text: To make text bold, surround it with double asterisks (**like this**).
- Italic Text: To make text italic, surround it with single asterisks (*like this*).
- Underlined Text: To underline text, wrap it with double underscores (__like this__).
- Bulleted Lists: Use the <ul> tag for an unordered list and <li> tags for each list item.
- Subheaders: Use the <h2>, <h3>, etc. tags for subheaders to organize your content.
Step 3: Inviting Members
A server is more fun when there are people to chat with! Inviting friends or community members to your server is easy:
