Help with rich text editor.

Really Really Experienced
I use the mobile version of the website on an Android smartphone using Firefox.

The thing is that I never figured out how or if it is possible to use the rich text editor while doing so.

Could someone tell me if it's possible? (and how if that's the case)

If not, is there a way to manually put things in bold, italics or underlined a chapter without having to log on my computer to go change it? I know there are sometimes things with parenthesis like for including pictures but don't know which ones to use on Chyoa.

Thanks in advance.

As an aside and suggestion might I add on the list of things to do a more intuitive mobile rich text editor.

It is possible to use markdown syntax.

As someone with no experience whatsoever with anything code related and not a native English speaker this website looks like Chinese.
Any chance you could tell me how to use italics, bold and underlined in markdown syntax.
I honestly tried to look at the whole page looking for it, I saw things with * around a word but it doesn't seem to work when I try it in a chapter.
 
You have to go Into your profile page and change from using the rich text editor to using the pain text version.

It's more clunky and awkward, but it lets you do what your asking on a phone or tablet.
 
Markdown is a way of telling the website what you want. It is short hand for the user to tell the page what to display in the final HTML. That link that was posted is a hell of a lot easier to read if you understand the HTML code it is using to compare to the markdown.

edit also holy shit you guys write on mobile? How do you type text out?

edit 2: Pro tip on mobile there is a "Request desktop site" Checkbox which tells the server to send you back the normal desktop site instead of the mobile one, this may be a work around although it does not always work

Very fast! The keyboard is small so your finger barely moves and your hand doesn't. On the plus side with the right app for your keyboard hitting space will autocomplete a word if he guessed it right so a 12 letter word take 3 or 4 letter and space, the suggestion bar too is great, one click for one word or more.
If you make a typo there a good chance that the suggestion is the correct spelling so simply hitting space for the next word will correct it.

It also offers you the freedom of writing where ever and whenever you want rather than having to set down on a desk.

I started writing in October and I have 725 chapters, I might have logged on a pc 3 times because I had a bug with the message system.

Edit. Thanks very much every one, it didn't work because the option was selected. It's actually really easy to use. (I'm going to go back in time change stuff.... If I get the courage.)
