Rentry guide


Capabilities

So you decided to give rentry a try.
Rentry is a "pastebin" website which was intended originally as a "dump" for programming code and snippets of text. But since it is a free website without any registration which preserves text indefinitely it can be used for A LOT of other purposes. It has a lot of nice features because it uses a "markup language" called Markdown. That means that instead of making text bold by selecting it with your mouse and then clicking buttons you do it with a text symbols. That is to make text bold you type **your text** and this is the result. A full markdown guide is available here.
Most of the time the only limit is your imagination since most of these elements could be mixed and matched together. Bold, marked text with links and images in a table? Easy.


How to

1. Type in your text in Text tab and format it with help of How tab
Use markdown to its full potential and unleash your imagination. Like doing !!! text to make notes and such!

2. Type in your password that you definitely going to remember
If you want to edit your page or change its link you will HAVE to remember the password (for the love of god write it down somewhere)


3. Type in your custom url
It will light up in different colors depending on if your link is available or not:

Color Explanation
red illegal symbol in the link, try replacing spaces with - or _ and using english letters + numbers
yellow the link is good, but it was already taken by someone else
green the link is good so go ahead
If you don't type a link a random one will be assigned to your page.

4. Press Go to publish your page!

Links are very easy to make in markdown. You type in how you want your link to look in square brackets [Link] and then add the actual link in round brackets (https://rentry.co/templarslinks). The final link would look like this

[Link](https://rentry.co/templarslinks) - Link

You can use links in the text, in headings and basically everywhere where you can put text.

rentry.co and rentry.org are interchangeable

Images

In order to insert an image on your page you only need to add ! in front of the square brackets like this:
![Image description](https://n.vmestefilms.online/static/images/avatars/2021/maxresdefault_bYIvDsZ.jpg)
Be sure to include direct link to the image.
And here is the result Image description
The size of the image on your page depends on the size of the image that you insert, so if you want a smaller image you should resize it to make it smaller. You can move your image to the middle or to the right of the page with -> image <- and -> image ->.

If you want to insert your custom image you can upload it to any image hosting provider you want like:

* with discord you need to make sure you copied the link to the image and not link to the message. Open the image in new tab and then copy the link from the browser.

Then you need to right click the image to open it in a new tab, copy the URL and paste it as a link. Voila, image embedded onto your page.


Editing your page

Once your page is published you can copy the link for others to access it. You can make links from one rentry page to the other thus making a fully fledged "website" with multiple pages for others to navigate between. However if you want to edit the page you have created it is very easy to do so.
Once you made all the changes you want you need to click save and that's it! You can edit pages as many times as you want.
