Gtalk : Hidden Formatting Codes

I have been using Gtalk from quite a few years and it was just today when i discovered a feature of Gtalk to format the text in there.
There are 3 formatting options for Gtalk that may be used in Gtalk Messenger :

  • Bold Text

  • Italics Text

  • Strikethrough Text
Making Bold Text
Write any text in Gtalk and put * before and after the text and it would be written in Bold text.


Making Italics Text
Write any text in Gtalk and put _ (Underscore) before and after the text and it would be written in Italics.


Making Strikethrough Text
Similarly use – (Hyphen) befor and after the text to get a strike through text effect.


This is very similar to the way you write “: )” which turns to a Smiley for Smile. Although the conversion delay is around a second for this when you type it in text box and when you get the result in the Chat Window.
