        Looks like LateX is not supported but Markdown is. Single underscore leads to italic text. _some text_ will render as some text. Two underscores will render the text bold in markdown. __example__: example

          Not sure that explains the working example in the picture. If it was markdown it would have had to changed font, italized, and added a subscript.
