Text Formatting

Kuula is also about simplicity, this is why we didn't want to clutter the user interface with toolbars for rich text formatting. Instead, you can use a simple formatting syntax in your text input.

The syntax Kuula is based on a subset of the Markdown text formatting language.

Where formatting is supported?

The formatting rules described below are supported in:

• Post descriptions
• Tour descriptions
• Profile bio
• Text in interactive cards
• Comments *

* To avoid spam, URL parsing is not supported in comments.

Formatting

Space and new lines

You can write plain text in the description and format it using spaces and/or new lines.

Bold & italic

If you would like to emphasize a word or a sentence, you can use a bold font. Just mark the beginning and the end of the bold text with a double star (**), like this:

In a similar way, wrapping text in a single star (*) symbol, will make it italic. Like this:

If you really need to emphasize something, you can use bold and italic at the same time:

Links

Website URLs and emails are automatically turned into clickable links. Here's a few examples:

You can also create text links, using the syntax [Link text](link url). For example [Google](www.google.com) will be formatted as the word "Google" linked to the goole homepage. Here are some more examples:

Telephone numbers

Similar to URLs, a variety of telephone numbers are recognized and turned into a clickable link:

A number with no spaces, dashes or other formatting will not be considered a valid phone number. Example:

Lists

You can add bulleted lists to your text using this syntax:
