Help:Modifying text

Italicizing and bolding
Notably, the most commonly used format of text modification are italicizing and bolding text. These can be used in a plethora of situations, such as giving emphasis on a certain text, making it more visible to readers, etc. To italicize or bold text, one must use two or three apostrophes before and after text, respectively. Here's an example of italicizing and bolding text:

 * will result in Example.

Additionally, users may also use tags to achieve the same modifications, although using apostrophes is more preferred:


 * will result in Example.
 * will result in Example.

Unlike bolding and italicizing, they are used not as often, however, they are still available if users need them. Using it is more complicated but still generally easy. Triggering them is explained below:


 * will result in Example.
