Anywhere text is present (lists, tables, paragraphs etc) you can make text **bold**, //italic//, __Underline__ (not recommended because it looks like a link), or ''monospaced - use two single quotes not the double quote charater''. You can combine any - or all of the formatting by nesting **//__''a bold, italic, underlined and monospaced text section''__//**.

Anywhere text is present (lists, tables, paragraphs etc) you can make text bold, italic, Underline (not recommended because it looks like a link), or monospaced - use two single quotes not the double quote charater. You can combine any - or all of the formatting by nesting a bold, italic, underlined and monospaced text section.

Although you can combine the formatting in any order (**//bolditalic//** is the same as //**italicbold**//) the 'outside' symbols must match, then the symbols inside must match etc. (this is what we mean by nesting).

Overlapping formatting (as opposed to nested formatting) does not work as expected e.g. **this text start bold //moves into bolditalic** but we wish this italic only// and back to normal. To do this we must format like this - **this text start bold //moves into bolditalic//**// but we wish this italic only// and back to normal.

All text formatting ends at the end of a paragraph, list entry, table cell etc - any unclosed formatting is displayed as ordinary text like this **bold without a close.
