Bold & Italic

Kx Markdown supports bold and italic text inside rendered context.

Bold

Surround text with two asterisks to make it bold.

**important**

For example:

[context]
Spanish phone numbers are often spoken as **pairs of digits**.
[/context]

Italic

Surround text with one asterisk to make it italic.

*example*

For example:

[context]
You have already ordered *coffee and breakfast*.
[/context]

Using Both

Bold and italic formatting can appear in the same context:

[context]
Remember the **important rule**.

Then practice the *example*.
[/context]

Kx Markdown also allows supported inline formatting to appear inside other inline formatting.

For example:

[yellow]This word is **important**.[/yellow]

Use bold for strong emphasis and italics for lighter emphasis, examples, or terms being discussed.
