Simply just type in 2 ~'s at the beginning and end of the text, like:

Thanks for posting this info @afnanfozailcw81 and @afnanfozailcw81 I’ve updated the category for this to [Learn About the Thunkable Community - Community](https://community.thunkable.com/c/communityguidelines/24)! Knowing markup is very helpful!
