# Format Text

You can format most textual content using [Markdown](https://commonmark.org/help/).

## Embed videos

You can embed videos from popular services like YouTube:

```
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)
```

Essentially, any link without text will be embedded.

Make sure the video itself can be embedded and isn't age restricted. Otherwise it's better off as a regular link.

## Search links

You can create links which open [Quick Search](/navigation/universal-search.md) with the given text pre-filled:

```
[Search text]()
```

Essentially, any link without a URL will open search. 

This is useful when you want to link to entities and types without needing to worry about specific IDs.
