Use markdown to format text

Wire supports markdown on all platforms.

On all platforms:

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```
[Wire](www.wire.com)	Wire
[Conversation](wire://conversation/conversation-id)	Link to a conversation
[Name](wire://user/user-id)	Link to a contact´s profile
# Heading    Note: If you want to start a line with "#" without that line being a heading, you need to "escape" the symbol with a backslash, like this: "\#"	Heading

Additionally on iOS:

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

• = Heading; long press 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.
