Format Issues

Help
1

I’m having issues trying to get my format options to work properly, I just started using this software so I’m not too familiar but every time I use one of the format options such as bolding, highlighting it ends up just leaving symbols around the selected text as opposed to preforming the actual function. Highlight something results in ==text== instead of it actually being highlighted

I’ve tried all the solutions google suggested such as checking editing mode, verifying markdown syntax, troubleshooting plug ins and themes and checking hotkeys and command s

Which editing mode are you using ? :blush:

As there are 2 of them:

  • Source mode: which displays the raw markdown syntax
  • Live Preview: which renders markdown syntax “in place”, as long as your cursor isn’t sitting right next to the bits of text you just formatted
    • Meaning that to get the fully rendered formatted markdown, your cursor needs to be moved away, on the next line (for example)
