mark it!
by der_fruhling
mark it! adds basic Markdown formatting to text in Minecraft, so chat and signs can show bold, italic, underlined, struck-through and obfuscated text.
What it does
Text wrapped in two asterisks turns bold, and text wrapped in one asterisk and one underscore turns italic. Markers can be combined, so a player can nest styles in a single message. A backslash placed before a marker keeps the raw characters visible when formatting is not wanted.
The formatting is applied in the game's text rendering, so it appears in places where players already type, including chat and signs. Editing is the main use: the mod supports the markup used in other Markdown-style editors, which makes it easier to write formatted notes without leaving the game. Developers can customize how the mod works, and the wiki covers those methods. Architectury API is required, and the mod is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License, with Fabric and Forge files for 1.20 – 1.20.6 and a beta-channel build for 1.20.6.
Key features
Bold and italic markers
Two asterisks produce bold text, and one asterisk with one underscore produces italic text.
Underline, strikethrough and obfuscation
Underline, strikethrough and obfuscated text each use their own pair of markers, so one message can mix them.
Escape with a backslash
Putting a backslash before a marker shows the characters as written, for players who want the raw text.
Combinable markers
Multi-character markers can be stacked, so one message can carry several styles at once.
Developer customization
Developers can change how the formatting works, and the wiki describes the available methods.

Who it’s for: Players who write formatted text in chat or on signs, and developers who want to extend the markup. Players can use the default markers without any configuration.
