Styling Text

Bold, Emphasis/Italics, and Underlining

You can emphasise text by putting * or _ (one underscore) before and after the text.

1 I am *emphatic*

You can make bold text by putting ** or __ (two underscores) before and after the text.

1 I am **bold**

You can do bold-italic with *** or ___ (three underscores) before and after the text.

1 I am ***bold-italic***

You can underline text with ____ (four underscores) before and after the text.

1 I am ____underlined____

Please note that some ebook viewers don’t display underlining. For example, you can see underlines on Kindle for Mac and on the Kindle Paperwhite, but Adobe Digital Editions doesn’t display them. Older Kindles may fail to display underlines as well.

Superscripts

Surround something in carets ^ to make it superscript. Like 1st or 2nd.

1 1^st^ or 2^nd^

Monospaced Text

Use backticks to make text monospaced (it looks red here, but won’t in your book).

1 I am `monospaced`!

Non-Breaking Spaces

You can add non-breaking spaces with  . This is useful for e.g. numbers that would be confusing if they were split onto more than one line. Here’s an example: 120 000 €

1 120 000 €
