To emphasize a word, simply surround it with asterisks, like so: *emphasized*. As you can see, Things detects this and displays the word in italics. If you remove those asterisks, it will go back to normal.\n\nHere are a few more examples:\n- Use two asterisks to make text **bold**\n- Use colons to ::highlight text::\n- Insert “#” at the beginning of a line to make a heading, like so:\n\n# This is a heading\n\n---\n\nMarkdown is a bit quirky, but it’s great for quickly styling your text while you type. You can also use keyboard shortcuts, which you can find in Edit → Markdown.\n\nTo learn more, check out our Markdown Guide: culturedcode.com/things/help/markdown/"
