Does anyone know how to use markup language in posts, or otherwise make text bold or italic, etc.? Or is it just not possible? I tried using HTML to make <i>italics</i>, but it didn't work. Thanks!

Yeah, this platform does not have a rich text editor. This editor is plain text. Definition: rich text - has the formatting options
plain text- is the pre-selected font style for typing
If you want to write something special, use a word document or some document style that has all the standard formatting options. Then copy/paste it to the RP editor

Right now the platform does not support formatted text. It is something on the roadmap.

CAPT Michael Toleno - This has been discussed before. Hoping for Markdown (expecting Slack-style restrictions - e.g. no MD hyperlinks).
