# Text Formatting

> Format message and post text with markdown-style syntax

OFAuth supports markdown-style formatting for messages and posts. When `isMarkdown: true` (the default), your text is automatically converted to OnlyFans-compatible formatting.

## Text Styles

### Bold

```
**bold text**
__bold text__
```

### Italic

```
*italic text*
_italic text_
```

### Bold + Italic + Blue Accent

```
***bold italic blue***
___bold italic blue___
```

<Note>
  Triple-wrapped text appears in OnlyFans' accent blue color (#00aff0) in addition to being bold and italic.
</Note>

***

## Text Sizes

Use hash symbols at the start of a line for larger text:

| Syntax    | Size    |
| --------- | ------- |
| `# text`  | Largest |
| `## text` | Large   |

```
# Largest Heading
## Large Heading
```

<Tip>
  Default text size requires no special syntax - just write plain text.
</Tip>

## Text Colors

| Color           | Syntax       |
| --------------- | ------------ |
| Gray            | `~text~`     |
| Blue 1 (accent) | `***text***` |
| Blue 2          | `~~text~~`   |

### Gray Text

```
~This is gray text~
```

### Blue Text

```
~~This is blue text~~
```

<Info>
  Blue 1 (accent) color is achieved with `***text***` which also applies bold and italic.
</Info>

***

## Line Breaks

Newlines in your text are automatically converted to line breaks:

```
Line one
Line two
Line three
```

## Quick Reference

| Pattern      | Result               |
| ------------ | -------------------- |
| `*text*`     | Italic               |
| `**text**`   | Bold                 |
| `***text***` | Bold + Italic + Blue |
| `~text~`     | Gray text            |
| `~~text~~`   | Blue text            |
| `# text`     | Largest              |
| `## text`    | Large                |

<Warning>
  Patterns must be surrounded by whitespace or at start/end of text to be recognized.
</Warning>

## Disabling Markdown

{
  text: '<p>Raw HTML content</p>',
  isMarkdown: false
}
```
