Text styling

You can style text with bold, italic and strike.

Hello, ~world~!
Hello, *_world_*!
Hello, *_~world~_*!

Code

You can create inline or code blocks. Inline code uses a single backtick character 
`
, code blocks use three backtick characters 
```
. Code blocks are automatically highlighted, inline code is not.
Copy code

export default function Button ({ children }) {
  return <button>{children}</button>

Hey @alexander bondarchuk, we don't support inline emojis yet in case you're writing messages directly from linen. We've added a story to add emoji support to our message parser here. I'll try to add it soon. We have different parsers for different formats, inline emojis from slack/discord should work already as historically this was one of our first use cases - we started as a google searchable mirror, evolving into a more of a separate chat/forum client itself.

@Emil Ajdyna Thanks! I'm thinking also about reactions to messages. Imagine I like your previous message and want to put thumbs up to it
like here

@alexander bondarchuk we have reactions, but they're not implemented everywhere yet :) our team is small and we're building features as we go. I've added a story for adding reactions in the thread page. If you see anything else missing let us know! Thanks.
