Bold, italic, both
*italic*, **bold**, ***bold italic***italic, bold, bold italic
Markdown bold and italic. Asterisks.
One asterisk on each side for italic, two for bold, three for both. Underscores do the same, except in the middle of a word.
On the left, what you type. On the right, what you get. Every result here was rendered by HushJot itself.

The same result. Asterisks are the more common choice.
Inside a word
un*believ*able
file_name_here stays as it isunbelievable
file_name_here stays as it is
Asterisks work mid-word; underscores don’t, so names like snake_case are safe.
