   You can use Markdown. This is *italics*. This is **bold**. [This is a link](http://google.com).

   I'm having a 1980s flashback: Asterisks for emphasis! I have actually used the single pair of asterisks that way (much more recently) and had the computer translate it into italics, but I've never heard it called "markdown" before . . . and certainly didn't think to try it here.

   Thanks!

   A follow up: Is there a trick to blockquote?

   We tried a bunch of things with the angle bracket, but it just rendered as a character in the text.

   Haven't reviewed anything recently, but it should just work. Per the Markdown documentation:

   > This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
   > consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
   > Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
   >
   > Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
   > id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

   Be sure to leave the blank lines before and after. If that doesn't work for you, let me know, and I'll look into it.

   Chris.

   Tried it again just now. It doesn't work for me.

   Blank line, angle bracket, space, text, blank line, renders as just that.

   Thanks.
