Formatting text issues
I found out a while ago that the way to format text in Todoist had changed. While the new way to bold text works on both project names and tasks, (i.e. !!bold!!), I find that I am unable to italicize text using the new formatting (i.e. _italics_). Using underscores before and after the word simply leaves underscores before and after the word! Interestingly enough, the old method ( %(i)italics% ) still seems to work. Should I just use the old formatting instead, or is this something that will be fixed?

Hello Cliff,
I can't reproduce this issue. please note that the formatting requires two underscores before and two underscores after the word(s) that should be italicized. For example:
__This will work__
_This will not work_
You can also use Ctrl+I on a selected text to add this syntax (or Ctrl+B - for bold).
Best regards,
David

Thanks David, I didn't realize it was double-underscores I was supposed to be typing. All good now.
