The other person then sent a bold formatted message, then I found it interesting. So I started Googlin' for more formatting options and found that you can actually type in bold, italics, and strikeout. Pretty neat huh?

So here's the formatting:

  • surrounding text with *, as *bold*, turns out bold
  • surrounding text with _, as _italics_, turns out italics
  • surrounding text with -, as -strikethrough-, turns out strikethrough.

I looked and looked for underline but never found it. If anyone knows how to, please comment.

Update: There's no way to underline in Gmail chat. Some say holding z, doesn't work.
