About WhatsApp text formatter

WhatsApp formats text with simple markers: asterisks for bold, underscores for italic, tildes for strikethrough and three backticks for monospace. Type your message here and see a live preview, then copy the marked-up text. It saves you from guessing where a marker should open and close.
