Markdown

Markdown is a way to write formatting with plain characters. Put stars around a word and the app shows it bold or italic. You only need a few marks.

What you can use

You want	You type	You get
Bold	`Redvale`	Redvale
Italic	`hands that have never held a scalpel`	hands that have never held a scalpel
Bold and italic	`*The West*`	The West
A new line	press Enter once	the text goes on under it
A new paragraph	press Enter twice	a gap between the two
A list	`-` at the start of each line	a bullet in front of each line
A numbered list	`1.` , `2.` , `3.` at the start of each line	the numbers

This is a piece of the team's Western world, as they typed it and as the app shows it:

As they typed it

**Wyoming Territory**, 1882. The town of **Redvale** sits between the Bighorn Mountains and the open range - cattle outnumber people ten to one, and the nearest telegraph is a two-day ride east.

He arrives by stagecoach with a medical bag, a trunk of books, and *hands that have never held anything heavier than a scalpel.*

Where it works

The description of a world, a character, a place or a scenario.
A scenario's prologue and opening message. The team writes prologues in italics, the way the app shows the narrator.
In a story, your messages and the AI's. Only bold and italic work there, inside a line: italics for what a character does, plain text for what they say.

Where it does nothing

Names, titles and subtitles are plain text. The definition of a world, a character or a place goes to the AI exactly as you typed it, stars and all, so leave the stars out of it.

Writing scenarios

Turning a world into something someone can play, and how to write a prologue that starts a story well.
