Format Your Basecamp Messages

Basecamp_logo
Here at flyte we rely on Basecamp–or "The Hangar", as we call it–as an online project management tool. We use it to create milestones, post designs, trade emails and more.

However, the formatting of a post within Basecamp leaves a lot to be desired; there’s no wysiwyg interface. There used to be a quick link to some of the more basic methods of marking up a post, but at some point the folks at 37 Signals have hidden it away.

So, for all of you Basecamp users (and my future self when I forget the URL), here’s a quick reference for Basecamp message formatting. Thanks, Hobix.
