Wire supports markdown on iOS, Android, and desktop.

On desktop and Android:

In order to display italic, bold, or parts of code, it is possible to use the following syntax to format some text inside any conversation on Wire:

Markdown used	Displayed as
_some text_	some text
*some text*	some text
**some text**	some text
_**some text**_	some text
`some text`
``` code snippet ```

On iOS:

Inside a conversation, tap  to activate markdown, then tap one of the following:

•  = Heading; long pres to reveal other header sizes
•  = Bold
•  = Italics
•  = Numbered list
•  = List
•  = Code
• # H1, ## H2, ### H3 syntax to create headers of various sizes
• Start a line with a number followed by a period and at least one space to create a numbered list (eg: "1. Buy milk")
• Start a line with either "-", "+", "*", or "• ", followed by at least one space, to create a bullet list (eg: "- Buy milk")
• Convert text to a link by using the syntax "[link title](link url)". Eg, "[tap me!](www.wire.com)" will display "tap me!" as a link, which when tapped, will direct you to the wire homepage. Note, for security reasons, this will only work if the link title is not a url, and the link url is valid.
