For words in bold, add asterisks to either ends of your text: *bold*

For italicized words, add underscores on either side of your text: _italics_

For strikethrough text, add tildes to both ends of your text: ~tilde~

You can also create combinations such as bold and italicized words: _*bolditalicized*_

These options are available to users operating iOS version 2.12.17 and Android version 2.12.535 or later.
