Allow bold font in reader

[Mark_Alexander]

Hi Steve, hi fellow users!

I hope I have not overlooked an existing option or failed to find an existing thread on this issue, but I’d love to be able to make text bold in the reader. I understand the idea is to keep the formatting simple, but a bold option would help to signify titles or subheadings, as in the attached screenshot.

I think just that one formatting option is all most people would need, as opposed to italics or different font sizes within one text, which I believe most users would find unnecessary.

Or is there a way to do this with HTML codes?

Thanks,
Mark

I just realized that this can indeed be done by placing ** in front and behind the text to make it bold. That’s fantastic!

So this issue is resolved. Just keeping this here for others to see in case they have the same question.

Thanks for sharing that info Mark!
