The toolbar provides inline formatting options to quickly apply styles such as bold, italic, and strikethrough directly to the text, without the need to access menus or other tools.

1 –Bold

In addition to the formatting options in the menu and toolbar, Docu2.me also offers the ability to apply bold directly in the text using inline formatting.

How to use:

  • Two asterisks: Surround the word or phrase you want to bold with two asterisks (**).
  • Example: Two asterisks to make the word **bold**
  • Two underscores: Similarly, you can use two underscores (__) to apply bold.

Example:

Two underscores to make the word __bold__

Notes:

  • Inline formatting is a quick and convenient way to apply bold without having to interrupt your writing flow to access the menu or toolbar.
  • Make sure there are no spaces between the asterisks or underscores and the text you want to format.

2 –Italic

In addition to the formatting options in the menu and toolbar, Docu2.me also offers the ability to apply italic directly in the text using inline formatting.

How to use:

  • One asterisk: Surround the word or phrase you want to italicize with one asterisk (*).
  • Example: One asterisk to make the word *italic*
  • One underscore: Similarly, you can use one underscore (_) to apply italic.

Example:

One underscore to make the word _italic_

Notes:

  • Inline formatting is a quick and convenient way to apply italic without having to interrupt your writing flow to access the menu or toolbar.
  • Make sure there are no spaces between the asterisk or underscore and the text you want to format.

3 Strikethrough

In addition to the formatting options in the menu and toolbar, Docu2.me also offers the ability to apply strikethrough directly in the text using inline formatting.

How to use:

  • Two tildes: Surround the word or phrase you want to strikethrough with two tildes (~~).

Example:

Two tildes to make the word ~~strikethrough~~

Notes:

  • Inline formatting is a quick and convenient way to apply strikethrough without having to interrupt your writing flow to access the menu or toolbar.
  • Make sure there are no spaces between the tildes and the text you want to format.

4Bulleted List

Use block formatting to create bulleted lists directly in your text.

How to use:

  • Asterisk or hyphen: Start a line with an asterisk (*) or a hyphen (-) followed by a space. Docu2.me will automatically transform that line into a bulleted list item.

Example:

First item

Second item

Third item

Notes:

  • You can create sub-levels in your list by adding more spaces before the asterisk or hyphen.
  • To exit list mode, press “Enter” twice.

5 – Numbered List

Use block formatting to create numbered lists directly in your text.

How to use:

Number followed by a period or parenthesis: Start a line with a number followed by a period (.) or a closing parenthesis ()) and a space. Docu2.me will automatically transform that line into a numbered list item, continuing the numbering sequentially.

Example:

First item

Second item

Notes:

  • You can create sub-levels in your list by adding more spaces before the number
  • To exit list mode, press “Enter” twice.

6 – To-do List

Use block formatting to create to-do lists with checkboxes directly in your text.

How to use:

Empty brackets or with “x”: Start a line with empty brackets ([ ]) to create an unchecked to-do item, or with an “x” inside the brackets ([x]) to create a checked to-do item.

Example:

[ ] First task

[x] Second task (already completed)

Notes:

  • You can toggle between checking and unchecking an item by clicking on the checkbox.
  • You can create sub-levels in your list by adding more spaces before the brackets.
  • To exit list mode, press “Enter” twice.

7 – Headings

Use block formatting to create headings and subheadings directly in your text, organizing content into hierarchical levels and making navigation easier.12

How to use:

Hash symbols (#): Start a line with one or more hash symbols (#) followed by a space to create a heading. The number of hash symbols determines the heading level:

# Heading 1

## Heading 2

### Heading 3

#### Heading 4

##### Heading 5

###### Heading 6

Notes:

Use headings to organize your document content into sections and subsections.

“Heading 1” is the main heading, with the greatest emphasis, while “Heading 6” has the least emphasis.

8 – Block Quote

Use block formatting to highlight long quotes or important passages of text in your document.

How to use:

Greater than sign (>): Start a line with the greater than sign (>) followed by a space. Docu2.me will automatically apply the block quote style, indenting the text and visually differentiating it from the rest of the content.

Example:

This is a block quote. It is indented and formatted differently to stand out from regular text.

Notes:

  • You can create nested block quotes by adding more greater than signs (>) at the beginning of each line.
  • To exit block quote mode, press “Enter” twice.
