Text Formatting
A sentence that stresses every word stresses nothing. Inline formatting lets you mark the one phrase that actually needs the reader's attention, a term worth emphasizing, a line that's no longer relevant, a detail you don't want skimmed past, without reaching for a whole new paragraph or heading to do it.
Styles
| Style | Syntax | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Italic | *italic* | Use for light emphasis. |
| Bold | **bold** | Use for strong emphasis. |
| Bold italic | ***bold italic*** | Use when a phrase needs both styles. |
| Strikethrough | ~~old text~~ | Use for removed or outdated content. |
| Highlight | ==important== | Use for important content. |
Context menu support
Right-click and open Format to toggle bold, italic, strikethrough, highlight, inline code, inline math, and comments on the current selection or word, without typing the symbols yourself.
