## XWiki Syntax 2.1: Text Formatting

### 2.0 Text Formatting

New in XWiki Syntax 2.1 over XWiki Syntax 1.0:

- Spaces are allowed just after the syntax symbols (for example in XWiki Syntax 1.0, this was not possible: * bold *).
- Use double symbols when there was only a single symbol in XWiki Syntax 1.0 so that it's less likely that the user will mistakenly use them in text.
- Ability to span several lines (wasn't possible in XWiki Syntax 1.0).

Feature | XWiki Syntax 2.1 | Result
--- | --- | ---
Bold | **bold** | bold
Underline | __underline__ | underline
Italics | //italic// | italic
Striked out | --strike-- | strike
Monospace | ##monospace## | monospace
Superscript | some ^^superscript^^ | some superscript
Subscript | some ,,subscript,, | some subscript
