Introduction

Subtxt supports Markdown to help you format your text effectively within the Storytelling boxes. Markdown is a lightweight markup language that you can use to add formatting elements to plain text. This guide will walk you through the basics of using Markdown in Subtxt, including creating bold and italic text, making lists, and adding line separations.

Basic Markdown Formatting

Bold Text

To make text bold, wrap it in double asterisks ** or double underscores __.

Example:

**This text is bold** __This text is also bold__

Italic Text

To italicize text, wrap it in single asterisks * or single underscores _.

Example:

*This text is italicized* _This text is also italicized_

Bold and Italic Text

You can combine both bold and italic by wrapping text in triple asterisks *** or triple underscores ___.

Example:

***This text is bold and italicized*** ___This text is also bold and italicized___

Line Separations

To create a line separation, use three hyphens --- on a new line.

Example:

This is some text. --- This is separated text.

Lists

To create a list, use either hyphens -, plus signs +, or asterisks * followed by a space. For ordered lists, use numbers followed by a period.

Unordered List

Example:

- Item 1 - Item 2 - Item 3

Ordered List

Example:

1. First item 2. Second item 3. Third item
