Formatting Your Messages

Your messages to a coach can include formatting — bullet points, numbered lists, tables, headings, bold, and more. There are no formatting buttons to learn: the message box understands markdown, and it formats your text as you go.

Pasting Formatted Content​

The easiest way is to paste. If you copy:

  • a table from a spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets) or a web page,
  • a bullet or numbered list,
  • or any markdown text,

…and paste it into the message box, it keeps its formatting. A pasted table stays a table, a list stays a list — both in the box as you write and in the message once you send it.

Typing Markdown​

You can also type markdown directly and watch it format live:

  • Start a line with - or * for a bullet list
  • Start a line with 1. for a numbered list
  • # , ## , ### for headings
  • > for a quote
  • **bold** for bold, *italic* for italic
  • ~~text~~ for strikethrough
  • Wrap text in backticks for inline code
  • [label](link) for a link

The bullet or number appears the moment you type the space, so you can see your list taking shape as you go.

Sending​

  • Enter sends your message.
  • Shift + Enter starts a new line (and, inside a list, a new list item).

Your message is sent and stored as plain markdown, so nothing is lost if you copy it elsewhere. Both your messages and the coach's replies use the same formatting, so a conversation reads consistently.
