title: Text Formatting
---

Modopedia has its own simplified version of markdown used for text formatting, fields which support this will be called `FString` (Formatted String) in the documentation. Text formatting works by supplying "Formatting Tags" which change the style of text. For example:

## Example Formatted Paragraph

The following is an example of a paragraph of formatted text and how the mod displays it in-game.

```
$(c:#32A852)Testing text with$()$(b) $(u)bold$(/b) and$(c:red) red $(i)italic$() text! And a bunch of$(b) text to make it longer\n\nplus$(/b) newline test.
```
