Give your words some emphasis using some easy to remember syntax:
Italics - *italics*
Bold - **bold**
Highlight - ==Highlight==
Strikethrough - ~~Strikethrough~~
You can also use keybinding shortcuts, just select the text (within the same line/paragraph) and pressing the shortcut, for the following emphasis:
Italics - [ cmd/crtl ] + [ I ]
Bold - [ cmd/crtl ] + [ B ]
Highlight - [ cmd/crtl ] + [ H ]
