A few tips && tricks on fancy formatting

WITHOUT using html

First things first, a very easy way to make your text look fancy is to switch between big && small text, CAPITALIZED words && normal written words, && CAPITALIZED BIG WORDS and small text.
As you can see this already looks somewhat fancy.

Now: If you want to format without html, the most easy way is to highlight a word && wait for these things to pop up:

What you can do with these things is bold, italic, ~~strike~~, underline (technically that’s a link but whatever)

&& this big font thing.

Now I personally don’t really use these, I prefer to use key-combinations ( because for me it’s faster ):
ctrl / b –> bold
ctrl / i –> italic
ctrl / shift / 2 –> big font thing
ctrl / shift / 6 –> ~~strike~~

ctrl / shift / 9 –> blockquote

Now these are the basics, but there are more. Most roleplayers like to use small text like the one I’m writing this tutorial in. But to use it you have to go into html mode and type <small></small> everywhere.
Or, you use some more key-combinations:
ctrl / shift / + (plus) or - (minus) ([you gotta try this one]–>small
to make it big again (the usual size) just highlight the small text again and press the keys again [logic i know]
ctrl / , (comma) –>makes your text go _down
ctrl / . (dot) –> makes your text go ^up

NOTE: when you use up/down, it automatically makes your text smaller. If you want it to have the same size, make the text big && then use the combination for up/down

Now we got that out of the way, let’s talk about text like this:

e̢͔̞͈̗̟͉͙̯̳̎͑̈̾̈̕͞x̰̪͋͗̓̎̃͊̎̎a̛͇̳̖̯͓͚͍͚͑͌m̵͍̞͂̐̓ͧͥͪͣ͒́p̪̪̼͚͔̎̂ͭ̀l͉͈͓̪̜̦̟͙̹̆̿͗̀͢e̷͚͙̭̰͉͉̒̅̂̅ͮ̀ and this ｅｘａｍｐｌｅ

You can find the first one here
&& the second one here (this side has lots of other fonts too)

Just copy and paste them ;)

The LAST thing you have to do is to combinate these things at will && voilá: a normal sentence looks FANCY wow && guess what?? You didn’t have to go into html mode once yay!! [just don’t over-do it]

So yeah, hope this helps :)

Nothing that has to do with formating but I thought I’d leave this here: symbols

EDIT: more combinations:
ctrl / K –> link
ctrl / shift / l –> horizontal line
ctrl / shift / P –> Insert Photo
ctrl / shift / K –> Insert Read More

EDIT EDIT: IF YOU WANT TO UNDERLINE SOMETHING, YOU DON’T NEED TO USE THE LINK OPTION. Simply press CTRL / U
