Markdown is an easy way of specifying rich text. I find it especially useful in Tiny Moments because I often create lists of things that I did during the day. Take the following piece of text for example:

- Had a great time at the park
- Called a friend 
- Napped

Wouldn't it be better if it was rendered nicely like this?

• Had a great time at the park
• Called a friend
• Napped

With this update, it will do just that because having an asterisk or a dash at the beginning of a line is Markdown! Markdown allows you to specify a lot of styles, but I think only a handful of styles make sense in a short-form journal. So I figured I would write the parser myself to use as little code as possible, but also to have fun figuring out how to write one. I've never written one before though so expect bugs! 🥲 Right now, it supports, bolding, italicizing, paragraphs, inline code, and unordered lists at the moment.

You can italicize things by surrounding text with an *asterisk*  or with _underscores_. You can bold text by adding **two asterisks** or __two underscores__.

Hopefully in the future I can add ordered lists as well and also allow making lists of lists. Anyway, I hope you like it!

This app is still in development, so expect bugs! To upgrade to a new version:

1. Export your data by tapping on the export button at the bottom of the app
2. Attach the new moments file
3. Tap the import button in the new app and import your old data
