## Multiple accounts
|
|
|
|
Elk supports logging into multiple Mastodon accounts.
|
|
Select the three vertical dot menu button next to your profile picture on a desktop or your profile picture directly on mobile devices, then select **Add an existing account**.
|
|
|
|
Switch between your accounts quickly:
|
|
|
|
- On the desktop, select the profile picture for the account to use.
|
|
- On mobile devices or smaller screens, tap your profile picture to see a list of signed-in accounts, then select the account to use.
|
|
|
|
## Rich text
|
|
|
|
Elk renders basic Markdown-like text markup in post texts as the expected HTML.
|
|
|
|
- Use one asterisk (`*`) before and after a word or phrase to *italicize** the text.
|
|
- Surround the text with two asterisks (`**word**`) to **bold** it.
|

|
|
Many apps do not support Markdown in posts.
|
|
Mastodon itself does not support Markdown in posts.
|
|
|
|
Users who see your posts from other apps or the Mastodon web app see standard, unrendered Markdown text.

## Code blocks
|
|
|
|
Elk supports adding code blocks to your posts.
|
|
|
|
When writing the post, select the editor tools and then Code Block to add a block to your post.
|
|
Paste or type in the contents.
|
|
|
|
Once you've added the block, you can select the language to use for code highlighting.
|
|
Hover over the right side of the code block to see the drop down box, then select the dropdown to see the full list of supported languages.
|
|
|
|
Options include:
|
|
|
|
* plain
|
|
* c
|

## Connecting linked posts in the timeline
|
|
|
|
Elk reorders timeline posts that are connected to each other to display them in a connected thread in the timelines.
|
|
This helps keep the conversation context for a post and its replies.
|
|
|
|
## Improved notifications
|
|
|
|
Elk groups boosts and likes to the same post when they occur together in the notification history.
|
|
Rather than displaying each like and boost with the post contents as in other apps, Elk displays the post one time with a list of the users who liked or boosted the post.
|
|
This greatly simplifies your notification history.
