I make the horse poop smell and sound great coming out? Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Here, you lost something: \
Bizzare itβs there on my end. Glitch in the Matrix?
No, that's an escape character. You have to double up on it for it to show up.
To be doubly clear, if you want to use a special character literally instead of figuratively, you can add a \. That's an escape character. This includes \ itself, which if you look at the source on this comment you can see I'm typing twice.
Another example: *not italicised*, which I write \*not italicised\*, so it doesn't just come out not italicised.
