Autype supports all standard Markdown inline formatting plus additional marks for underline, highlight, text color, and abbreviations.

​
Bold

​
Italic

​
Bold + Italic

​
Underline

​
Strikethrough

​
Highlight

Highlight text with a default highlight color:
Highlight with a custom color:
The color value inside {...} accepts any CSS color.

​
Text color

Color only part of a paragraph with a span:
The color value accepts hexadecimal #RGB or #RRGGBB values such as #c62828 or #0f766e. Text color is an inline mark, so it can be combined with other formatting:
For whole paragraphs or headings, prefer the element/style color settings instead of wrapping the entire text in a span.

​
Inline code

Content inside backticks is preserved exactly as-is — no further formatting is applied inside inline code.
Links starting with # are treated as internal references, not external links.

​
Line breaks

Use <br> for a line break within a paragraph:
Without <br>, consecutive lines in the same paragraph are joined with a space.

​
Inline variables

Reference variables inline with double curly braces:
See Variables for the full variable reference.

​
Nesting

Inline formatting can be nested. For example, bold text can contain abbreviations or citations:
The parser correctly handles abbreviations (~ABK~) and citations (@[key]) inside bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and highlight marks.
