Hi there

How do I create a centered hash mark to display in manuscript theme as an end of scene marker. I've tried # # and also tried ###### # (I saw this in the comments of a css file on github.)

Thanks
Lou

   Depends on whether you're using Discount or MultiMarkdown setting in the
   Processors preferences.

   With Discount, just use:

   ->#<-

   With MMD, you'd need custom CSS that centered text at a certain header
   level (such as ###### for header level 6, in which case your latter
   example would work). You could do this by going to the Style preferences
   and in the Additional CSS field adding:

   h6 {
   text-align: center;
   }

   Hi Brett

   Thank you for the super quick reply. The Discount GFM setting with the syntax that you indicated worked great. When I tried the other suggestion it worked with ###### #test but not with ###### # with last hash alone. I've attached the screen shots. Thanks again and have a great day.

   Try it with a backslash before the #:

   ###### \#

   Haven't tested, but should work.
