### Text Formatting

Glue formatting uses Markdown-style syntax.

#### Basic Text

| Style    | How to write    |
| -------- | --------------- |
| **Bold** | `**bold text**` |
| *Italic* | `*italic text*` |
| `Code`   | `` `code` ``    |

#### Structured Content

<figure><img src="/files/ZAR4TbLQvg9wxTAfDkns" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

| Structure                       | Syntax                                                                           |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Bulleted lists                  | `- item` or `* item`                                                             |
| Numbered lists                  | `1. item`                                                                        |
| Headings                        | `# Heading level 1 (h1)`, `## Heading level 2 (h2)` , `### Heading level 3 (h3)` |
| Divider (horizontal line break) | `---`                                                                            |
| Blockquote                      | `> your text here`                                                               |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Always include a space after heading markers (e.g., `## Heading text`).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** There is currently not support for sending formatted tables in a message. Only Glue AI can send a table.
{% endhint %}

### Block & Inline Code

For sharing code snippets, use triple backticks:

` ```console.log("Hello world")``` `

will appear as

```
console.log("Hello world")
```

{% hint style="success" %}
Pasting formatted text from another app will carry the formatting over to Glue!
{% endhint %}
