Hello, World!
* {{{1}}} or {{{text}}} The text of your message.

The second option is needed in cases when the text is not displayed for various reasons (for example, when <div></div> is used in the text)

Tip.pngTip:If you are posting an image, it's recommended that it shouldn't exceed 200px or more, to prevent making it look messy and slowing down internet connections for some users (unless they click/tap on it manually to view the image fully).
Note.pngNote:This was also used in the examples above and below, but was not shown.
