Format your messages
Bold, italic, strikethrough, code, quotes and lists, with symbols or the formatting menu.
On this page
You can style parts of a message. Formatting shows up for everyone in the chat.
Use symbols
| To get | Type |
|---|---|
| Bold | *text* |
| Italic | _text_ |
~text~ | |
Inline code | `text` |
| Code block | ```text``` |
| Quote | > text at the start of a line |
| Bulleted list | - or * at the start of a line |
| Numbered list | 1. at the start of a line |
The symbols stay visible while you type, with the styling shown around them, and disappear once the message is sent.
Use the formatting menu
- Type your message.
- Select the words you want to style (double-tap or long-press them).
- In the menu that appears, choose a style such as Bold, Italic, Inline code, Bulleted list or Numbered list.
The menu also offers Look it up with Zaplog, which searches the selected words in the Zaplog tab.
