Tutorial Pg. #3 of 6

The markup code to underline, bold, italicize, or strikethrough text is similar to highlighting, but uses different symbols.


Underline: __
To underline text, simply surround it with two __ underscore characters:
Example:
Hello, my name is __Bob__
...becomes...
Hello, my name is Bob


Bold: %%
To make text bold, simply surround it with two %% percent sign characters:
Example:
Hello, my name is %%Bob%%
...becomes...
Hello, my name is Bob


Italics: %%%
To italicize text, simply surround it with three (3) %%% percent sign characters:
Example:
Hello, my name is %%%Bob%%%
...becomes...
Hello, my name is Bob


Bold + Italics: %%%%
To bold and italicize text, simply surround it with four (4) %%%% percent sign characters:
Example:
Hello, my name is %%%%Bob%%%%
...becomes...
Hello, my name is Bob


Strikethrough: --
To put a strike through text, simply surround it with two -- dash characters:
Example:
Hello, my name is --Bob-- John
...becomes...
Hello, my name is Bob John
