Some questions just seem to loop indefinitely. Honestly, I’m feeling too lazy to address them all over again. 😬 I figured I'd put this tutorial together so I don't have to keep repeating myself. Moving forward, I'll just drop the link if anyone asks again. 🥳
How do I bold text?
Just wrap **the text you want to bold** like this.
What you get: The text you want to bold.
How do I italicize text?
Just drop the text you want me to slant right here.
You get: The text you want to tilt.
How do I underline text?
Just type: the text you want to underline
What you get: The text you want to highlight.
How do I change the font size?
The text you want to shrink
You get: The text you want to shorten.
Option 1 shrinks the text, option 2 keeps it at the standard size, and everything else just scales it up. 🙂
How do I change the font color?
Just type: the text you want to color
You get: The text you want to colorize.
Instead of just saying red, you could use blue, yellow, green, pink, purple, violet, brown, or white. You can also just use HTML hex codes—they look like this: #993399. Each one starts with a hash followed by a six-character combination. At this link. You can find just about any color you want; just pick your favorite and swap out the color name for its hex code. 🙂

It actually looks like this:
Feel free to imitate them if you like, or just credit the person before you quote them.
How do I add an email address?
You can reach me at my email address.
You get: My email address.
Writing an email address this way triggers the user's mail client automatically with the recipient field already filled out. Of course, you could also just write it out normally like any other text.
How do I create a hyperlink with custom display text?
You can write it like this: Website Name
You get: Page title
