how-to: format text in google plus posts

Get to wear the lab coat of a Google+ guru by learning some few more tricks! Today, I’m going to show you how you can prettify each and every post you do in Google+. Don’t you know that you can format the text that appear on a story you post?

These tricks may take you some time to learn and master them, but don’t worry, they aren’t extraterrestrial in nature. Take a look at some of the basic formating styles below that you’d love to apply, and let us know if you can come up with a list of your own!

Bold, Text, Italic

• For Bold text: use an asterisk(*) around the text. For example: *Twelveskip* would show as TwelveSkip.
• For Italics: use an underscore(_) either side of the text. For example: _TwelveSkip_ would show as TwelveSkip.
• For Strikethrough text: use a hyphen (-) around the text. For example: -TwelveSkip- would show as TwelveSkip
