TextFormatting

✍️ Text Formatting

Everywhere Formamorph shows you formatted prose — world descriptions, readmes, community comments, feedback threads, the story's own narration — it reads the same Markdown. This page is the full list of what works.

Formatting is written in the text itself. In the World Editor's prose fields a toolbar sits above the box and applies most of this to your selection, so you rarely have to type the punctuation by hand.

---

Emphasis

You write	You get
*italic* or _italic_	italic
**bold**	bold
***both***	both
~~struck~~	struck
`inline code`	inline code

Highlighting

Wrap text in double equals signs to highlight it, exactly as in Obsidian:

Mind the ==loose plank== on the third step.

The plain highlight takes its color from your active theme, so a highlight looks at home whether you're on Purple, Forest, Bubble Gum or any of the rest — in light mode or dark.

Color Keys

Put a single letter between the first pair of equals signs to pick a color instead. The letter is the color's own initial:

Key	Color	You write
r	Red	=r=danger==
o	Orange	=o=caution==
y	Yellow	=y=note==
g	Green	=g=safe==
c	Cyan	=c=cool==
b	Blue	=b=calm==
p	Purple	=p=arcane==
q	Pink	=q=sweet==
x	Gray	=x=muted==

The closing marker is always a plain ==, whether or not you used a key. A letter that isn't in the table falls back to the plain themed highlight rather than breaking.

You don't have to type any of it. The highlighter button in the toolbar has a chevron beside it that opens all ten colors, each shown as its own swatch, and the button then remembers whichever you picked last. Pressing a color on text that already carries a different one recolors it in place; pressing the color it already has takes the highlight off.

Note

The content can't start or end with a space — ==loose plank== highlights, == loose plank == doesn't. An empty ==== renders as nothing at all.

Warning

Two == comparisons close together in ordinary prose can be read as one highlight: a==b and c==d highlights b and c. Put spaces around your operators (a == b) or wrap them in ` inline code, where formatting never applies.

Superscript and Subscript

You write	You get
H~2~O	H2O
x^2^	x2

Neither may contain a space — that's what stops a stray ~ in ordinary prose ("~5 minutes") from swallowing the rest of the line.

Headings, Lists and Blocks

You write	You get
# Heading … ###### Heading	Six heading levels
- item	A bullet list
1. item	A numbered list
- [ ] item / - [x] item	A task list with checkboxes
> quoted	A blockquote
---	A horizontal rule

Links, Images and Tables

You write	You get
[text](https://example.com)	A link
	An image
https://example.com	An automatic link

Tables use the usual pipe syntax:

| Column | Column |
| --- | --- |
| Cell | Cell |

Code Blocks

Fence a block with three backticks and name the language to get syntax coloring in the app's own palette:

```js
const greeting = 'hello';
```

Formatting is never applied inside code — an inline span or a fenced block shows exactly what you typed, == and ~ included.

Line Breaks

A single newline is a line break. You don't need two spaces at the end of a line, and you don't need a blank line between every line of a stanza or an address.
