A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

I'm in the city right now and it's so difficult to imagine a coyote anywhere near this place. But then, it's easy to forget how vast Central Park is. Such an amazing attribute to the city. I just went for a run through the park. A beautiful day here, though I didn't see any salamanders or coyotes :)
