THE CLASSICCARS.COM JOURNALAutoHunter Spotlight: 1973 Corvette Mako Shark IIWhen the C3 Corvette was introduced for 1968, it was the wildest thing on wheels. The Mako Shark II concept was even wilder, and here's one you can own!

Text and lists

**bold**, *italic*, ~~struck~~
## Heading, ### Smaller
- item for a list, 1. item for a numbered one; indent two spaces to nest
- [ ] to do and - [x] done for checkboxes
A blank line starts a new paragraph

Links and quotes

[words](https://...) for a link; another site opens in a new tab
[words](https://...){new} opens it in a new tab, even a page on this site; {same} keeps a link to another site in this tab
A bare address becomes a link by itself
A link to an Instagram post, a YouTube video or a post on X, on a line of its own, shows it; in a sentence, it shows below
A link to a YouTube channel (youtube.com/@name) shows the channel - its picture, name and counts - and its latest videos
> words to quote

Icons

A link to one of these sites gets its icon by itself: Facebook YouTube X Instagram TikTok Threads LinkedIn GitHub Reddit Discord eBay Etsy
Any other icon, by hand: <i class="bi bi-envelope"></i>, inside or before a link: <i class="bi bi-mastodon"></i> [Mastodon](https://...)
Every name is at icons.getbootstrap.com; use it after bi bi-
A link with a picture or an icon of its own gets no second one

Code and tables

`code` inside a line
A block between fence lines, its language after the first:
```
```php
echo 'hi';
```
```

A table:

| Part | Price |
|------|-------|
| Fan  | $12   |

Pictures

![description](images/name.jpg) - from this site's image library
![description](shared/name.jpg) - from Shared Images, the same on every site here
The words in [ ] describe the picture; a click opens it full size
Several in a grid: see Gallery

Gallery

Pictures between :::gallery and :::, one per line, become a grid that fits the page:

:::gallery min=220 captions
![Front](shared/front.jpg)
![Side](shared/side.jpg)
:::

Options on the first line, any you like:

min=220: narrowest column, px
gap=12: space between, px
ratio=4:3: one shape for all; auto keeps each
fit=contain: whole picture, not cropped
layout=masonry: columns, each keeps its shape
captions: each picture's words in [ ] shown under it

Callouts and prompts

A callout box is a quote starting with its kind:
```
> [!TIP]
> Words in the box.
```
Kinds: NOTE, TIP, IMPORTANT, WARNING, CAUTION
A prompt for an AI is a fence marked ```prompt: its lines wrap and are never coloured as code

In a post

Drop or paste a picture into the box, or use Insert picture: it goes in as ![name](shared/name.jpg)
Drop a video into the box, or use Insert video: it goes in as ![name](files/name.mp4), a player with a picture of it, and shows in Media
@Name mentions a member: type @ and pick them from the list; they are told, and their name links to their page
community/threads/12 links another thread; on a line of its own it is a card
![Wayne](community/members/wayne-fields.3f2a9c1b0d) on a line of its own is a member's signature card; paste their profile's address
