In Bevy Virtual Meetup chat, format messages with Markdown — for example bold, italic, lists, links, quotes, and inline code. Press Shift+Enter for a new line; press Enter to send.
After you join a Bevy Virtual Meetup, open Chat in the tray and type Markdown markers in your message. Chat shows the formatted result when the message posts. For how to open chat, react, quote, reply, and send direct messages, see Use Bevy Virtual Meetup as an attendee.
Start a new line without sending
In the chat box:
- Press Enter to send the message.
- Press Shift+Enter to add a new line (needed for lists and multi-line quotes).
Tip: To build a bullet list, type - item, press Shift+Enter, then type the next - item. Press Enter only when the whole list is ready to send.
Markdown you can use in chat
Type the markers exactly as shown. Spacing matters for lists and quotes.
| Format | Type this | Result in chat |
|---|---|---|

**hello** or __hello__
|

|
