Text formatting

Format your messages for better readability and emphasis:

Basic formatting

  • Bold text - Wrap text in **asterisks** or use Cmd/Ctrl + B

  • Italic text - Wrap text in *single asterisks* or use Cmd/Ctrl + I

  • Code - Wrap text in `backticks`

Structure

  • Bulleted lists - Start a line with - or *

  • Numbered lists - Start a line with 1., 2., etc.

  • Headings - Use # for Heading 1, ## for Heading 2, ### for Heading 3

    • Note: Always include a space after the # symbols

  • Dividers - Type --- on its own line to create a horizontal line break

Code blocks

For sharing code snippets, use triple backticks:

```your code here```
