so basically, forums uses html formatting(I think) and since I just learnt html, I just thought this would be cool!

That’s **_awesome!_**  
By that logic, ~~you can also have strikethrough~~ like this:

```auto
<s> text </s>

```

Let me develop all of you  
\[1\]

# BIG BOI, WE USE “#”

* * *

The thing above splits up the post to create different sections (we use “—”)

~~this uses strikethrough~~

Learn all this stuff using the [raw](https://forum.makecode.com/raw/29443).

1. You clicked something to read this

</div>

also you can make headers with `<h1>text goes here</h1>`  
It will look

# Like This

* * *
To add a horizontal line, use the hr tag ("hr" in the \<\>)
## Pro Tip
If you get tired of using (sentence), replace the () with \<\>! That will make the

> (sentence)

invisible!

```auto
signing off, Josef

```

</div>

By the way, thats not a strikethrough tag, its a `<del>` tag, more of telling the computer this is deleted text, ignore it.

## What do I mean?
It's really simple actually, If you put all of this into a screen reader, it will ignore text within the **del tag**

However, If we used a `<s> tag, (which, by the way, is a strikethrough tag)`, the screen reader would still read that text!

```auto
print("PS: I didn't know that in the Forums, the <del> tag is highlighted red too!")
So cool!

```
