# Markdown syntax

> Add rich text formatting to your chapters with Markdown.

## Text formatting

Add `**`, `*`, `~~`, or `` ` `` at the start and end of parts of text to format it. It works for individual words, sentences, and blocks of text.

| Style         | How to write it     | Result            |
| ------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- |
| Bold          | `**bold**`          | **bold**          |
| Italic        | `*italic*`          | *italic*          |
| Strikethrough | `~~strikethrough~~` | ~~strikethrough~~ |
| Monospaced    | `` `monospaced` ``  | `monospaced`      |

You can combine these. For example, write `***bold and italic***` to get ***bold and italic*** text.

<Info>
  Text formatting won't appear while editing your story. Select `Play` in the toolbar to preview your story with all formatting applied.

## Linking to websites

You can add a link by wrapping text in `[]()`. For example, you would write `[link to Animant](https://animant.co)` to [link to Animant](https://animant.co).

## Typefaces

Animant currently supports two typefaces:

* New York: a serif typeface
* San Francisco: a sans-serif typeface (default)

You can change a chapter's typeface on iPadOS and macOS from the menu bar (Format > Font). You can also choose a default typeface to be applied to new chapters in Settings > Chapters (General on macOS) > Font.
