We've had frustrating experiences formatting text - just like you. That's why our text is formatted with a "markup language" called Markdown. Markdown allows you to write and format text that is human-readable without getting in the way.
Italicize *like this* or _like this_ Bold **like this** or __like this__ Combined ***italics and bold*** or ___italics and bold___
If you add a link to a webpage, it should just work:
Go here: http://www.google.com
Add text to describe your link:
Here's a link to [Google Search](http://www.google.com)
Or add a link to a Flow:
Go to [Start Point][flow:1]
A bulleted list can use asterisks, plus signs and minus signs:
* Apples + Bananas - Oranges
A numbered list just works:
1. First item 2. Middle item 3. Last item
If you want text with a mono-spaced font, indent with four spaces:
Every character in pre-formatted text has the exact same width!
Alternatively, you can use the backtick character (`) inline:

> Create quotes by putting ">" on each line. > You can also include formatting: > > 1. Apples > 2. Bananas > 3. Oranges
Tables aren't officially part of Markdown, but we've added them because of their convenience:
Name | Price -------|-------- Apple | $0.50 Banana | $0.30 Orange | $0.80
