|

||
|| `**Bold**` | **Bold** ||

||
`~~Strikethrough~~`
`--Strikethrough--`
|
~~Strikethrough~~
||
|| `##Monospace##` | ##Monospace## ||
|| `??Highlighted??` | <p style="background-color: #ffff00">Highlighted text</p> ||
|| `++Small font++` | <small>Small font</small> ||
|| `!!Red text!!` | <span style="color: red">Red text</span> ||
|| `!!(blue)Colored text!!`

{% cut "Supported colors:" %}

## Combining formatting types {#sec_combine}

When formatting text, you can combine markup elements in any order:

| Markup | Result |
--- | ---
| `**[Bold link](http://example.com)**` | **[Bold link](#)** |
| `>Quote with *italic text*` | >Quote with _italic text_ |


## Other markup {#other-formatting}

|| **Element** | **Markup** | **Result** ||

Line break | `first line---second line` |
first line
