There aren't any toolbars for formatting text, but there are some little tricks to help. Here's a few I've found:
- URLs are automatically converted into clickable hyperlinks (i.e. http://www.bigblueball.com)
- You can make BOLD text by using asterisks around a word or phrase. (i.e. *this is bold text* will become this is bold text)
- You can italicize text using the underscore symbol (i.e. _this is italicized text_ becomes this is italicized text)
- You can combine bold and italics codes (i.e. _*this is both bold AND italicized*_ becomes this is both bold AND italicized)
