Formatting

Timetoast supports a subset of the Markdown markup language. This allows you to add basic formatting to the descriptions of your timeline items.

Links

To create links to other websites, enclose the link text in square brackets (e.g. [Timetoast]), and follow it immediately with the URL in parentheses (e.g. (https://www.timetoast.com))

Emphasis

To bold text, add two asterisks or underscores before and after a word or phrase. To bold the middle of a word for emphasis, add two asterisks without spaces around the letters.

To italicize text, add one asterisk or underscore before and after a word or phrase. To italicize the middle of a word for emphasis, add one asterisk without spaces around the letters.

To emphasize text with bold and italics at the same time, add three asterisks or underscores before and after a word or phrase. To bold and italicize the middle of a word for emphasis, add three asterisks without spaces around the letters.
