## Write and read messages
|
|
|
|
Messages can be sent with the **Enter key**. For a line break press Shift + Enter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**files** (also images) can be sent up to a size of 100MB. For this purpose the paper clip must be selected. The sidebar with the document symbol shows the files within a room. Larger files can be shared via the [envs.sh nullpointer](https://envs.sh) and a share link.
|
|
|
|
Using text formatted in the markup language [**MarkDown**](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown), messages can also be formatted in Matrix Element. Here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
| result | to type |
|
|
|:----------------------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|
|
|
| **Bold** | ```**Bold**``` |
|
|
| *Italic* | ```_Italic_``` |
|
|
| \| quote | ```> quote``` |
|
|
| **Heading 1** | ```# Heading 1``` |
|
|
| Heading 2 | ```## Heading 2``` |
|
|
| [Matrix Help](https://matrix-help.envs.net/) | ```[Matrix Help](https://matrix-help.envs.net/)``` |
|
|
|  | `````` |
|
|
| list entries | ```* list entry```<br/>```* list entry```<br/>```* list entry```<br/> |
|
|
| numbered lists | ```1. numbered list```<br/>```2. numbered list```<br/>```3. numbered list```<br/> |
|
|
|
|
The current [MarkDown specification can be found here](https://spec.commonmark.org/current/).
|
|
|
|
The input of LaTeX formulas is currently not supported, but has already been requested: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/1945
|
|
Alternatively, an integration can be used to create a hedgedoc (e.g. at [https://hedgedoc.envs.net/](https://hedgedoc.envs.net/)), in which LaTeX can be used.
|
|
|
|
**Hashtags** can be used to make terms easier to find in the search.
|
|
|
|
**Smileys** can be reached with a starting colon ":"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there are more unread messages in a room than the screen can display, clicking on the icon to the right of the central content with a triangle pointing up and a dot pointing up will make you jump to the oldest unread message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, you can jump to the latest timestamp of a conversation by clicking on the triangle at the bottom of a circle on the right edge of the central content page.

A theme-based presentation (also called "threading") that is similarly good as [Zulip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulip) (by themes in each room/group/stream/channel) or in other programs by using a 3rd column does not exist with Matrix/Element, but is available as a wish: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/2349
