New on IFDB

IFDB site news August 30, 2025 Markdown support in reviews: IFDB reviews now allow you to use Markdown. Now you can type *emphasis* and get italic text, **strong** and get bold text, use backticks ` to get monospaced code. Also numbered lists, bulleted lists, blockquotes, headings, and the whole jam. See "Review Formatting Hints" for details. Additional details Right now, Markdown is only available in reviews. It will require additional work to add Markdown to each text box in the site, e.g. comments, game descriptions, etc. In order to avoid messing up existing reviews, we only render Markdown in reviews that have been modified since today's date, August 30. This means that if you edit a review and save it, it might look different than when you started editing it. But we did a bunch of tests and found that 90%+ of reviews aren’t transformed at all by adding Markdown support, and more than half of the remainder are improved by it (e.g. converting “*emphasis*” to “emphasis”). If Markdown is doing something you don't want it to do, try using a backslash \ character before asterisks, underscores, etc.
