Markup for Rich Export

Emphasis and monospace

You can make words bold, italic, underlined, verbatim and code. Text in the code and verbatim string is not processed for Org mode specific syntax, it is exported verbatim.

• bold: *
• italic: /
• underlined: _
• verbatim: =
• code: ~

You can also mark lines as literals (quotations) by preceding them with :.

1. Refusal of the *Return*
2. The Magic /Flight/
3. Rescue from _Without_
4. ~The Crossing of the Return Threshold~
5. Master of Two =Worlds=
6. Freedom to Live
: with a literal
