So, Through this app, I’ve tried changing the text styles into “Bold”, “Italic”, “Strikethrough” by the parallel slide it offers just above the keyboard. But none of them works when Commenting on a post.
This is the very first time I’m officially testing the text styles in post.
This line should appear Bold
This one should be Italic
This one should be Strikethrough
superscripst
subscript
If the upper 5 lines don’t appear as different text style to you or to me, then what can be concluded from this? Is this the app’s incompatibility or my device’s incompatibility?
Additionally I’ll try all the 5 styles in comments. Since I don’t know if only I cannot see the effects from the app and others CAN see. Respose accordingly please.
Edit: PROBLEM SOLVED
If you want a line break without having an empty line in between, end the line with two spaces.
This
is
actually
possible.
The text formatting system used on Piefed and Lemmy is called Markdown. You can find an excellent short Markup tutorial in the net. It’ll teach the rest.
Really?
wow! Solong backslash!

ive looked at markdown guides so many times how did i miss this?
I did actually used line break in between the 5 styles.
But it appeared in one line. Dunno why. I didn’t bother changing since other commenters said that they can see the 5 styles, both in post and in comment. Which is the main point.
I know the way to write in 5 or 6 styles in markup text format. But it seems like only the Bold ( Just to check again, I wrote Bold in actual Bold style ) style has a problem of not showing it to my own app interface.
It appeared in one line because you did not end your lines with two spaces.
You write a line. Then you press the Space bar. Then you press the Space bar again.
And then you press Enter.
