Greater than \> at beggining of line or highlight and right click quotable person’s text.

Solid Line: by using underscore \_\_\_ or negative/dash — more than twice on its own line.

* * *

## Big Highlight

After text leave a - dash/negative on next line to make it bigger and bolder.

Not that I’ve found yet. Also looking for alignment / color options typically they use the brackets surround text but nothing so far… oh the big highlight seems to be a link.

Interesting # before lines Highlights it even more with multiple hashtags making it smaller nice find almost seems to be hijacking the # link to thread mechanism.

# Test1 (Max)

## Test2

###### Test6 (Min)

# Test =

## Test -

Clumsily typed in an equals on empty line after text too also appears to give text max size.

@Test99 without proper at mention just greys out 1 word

Can you guys check this box? or do you see me check this 2nd box?
