Text Formatting¶

Like vanilla Markdown, you can apply basic text formatting using a variety of delimiters. TeXSmith extends this with small capitals support.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. *(regular)*

*The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.* *(italic)*

**The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.** *(bold)*

***The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.*** *(bold italic)*

~~The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.~~ *(strikethrough)*

__The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.__ *(small capitals)*

The pymdownx.betterem extension lets you stack delimiters for bold italic.

Note

In MkDocs, you need to specify how to render small capitals using a custom CSS:

.texsmith-smallcaps {
    font-variant: small-caps;
    letter-spacing: 0.04em;
}

Then, include this CSS in your MkDocs configuration under extra_css:
