Node Formatting

Nodes can be formatted with bold, italics, and newlines. To make something bold, surround it in asterisks *like this*. To use italics, surround text in slashes /like this/. To insert a line break, type in \n or simply press Enter and \n will be inserted for you.

If you want to put either an asterisk or backslash but not for formatting, escape it with a forward slash like so: \* or \/. You cannot literally write \n in the current setup.

When searching, formatting characters will be ignored, except for line breaks, which will be treated as spaces. This should allow you to search by what is displayed, not by the underlying format string.
