On Pikmin Fanon, there are numerous ways to modify text. This page explains how to do so.

Italicizing and bolding

Notably the most commonly used format of text modifying are italicizing and bolding text. These can be used in a plethora of situations, such as giving emphasis on certain text, making it more visible to readers, etc. To italicize or bold text, one must use two or three apostrophes before and after text, respectively. Here's an example of italicizing and bolding text:

''Example'' will result in Example.
'''Example''' will result in Example.

Additionally, users may also use tags to achieve the same modifications, although using apostrophes is more preferred:

Example will result in Example.
Example will result in Example.

In addition to this, users can also bold and italicize text at the same time. It is triggered by using five apostrophes, or both aforementioned stage, before and after text.

Strike-through and underline

In addition to the basic italicization and bolding of text, users can also ~~strike-through~~ and underline text. Unlike bolding and italicizing, they are used not as often, however, they are still available if users need them. Using it is more complicated but still generally easy. Triggering them is explained below:

<s>Example</s> will result in ~~Example~~.
Example will result in Example.

Listing

Creating a bulleted list requires placing an asterisk (*) at the start of a new line. Typing *Example results as:

Example

Creating a numbered list also requires by placing a point at the left side of the editing screen but with an octothorp (#). Typing #Example results as:

Example

It is possible to merge both characters, by putting the asterisk first and the octothorp second (*#). Typing *#Example under a bulleted item, to display properly, results as:

Example
1. Example

The inverse also works, by putting the octothorp first and the asterisk second (#*). Typing #*Example under a numbered item, to display properly, results as:
