+When composing, focus the message field and type at least three characters to reveal a **formatting toolbar** below the input. Select text and tap a style to wrap it (tap again to remove it); with no selection, a style inserts an empty pair with the cursor between the markers. The link button opens a dialog to enter a URL. As you type, the draft styles live in the field while the underlying text keeps its Markdown characters.

 Viestit näkyvät chat-kuplina — lähetetyt viestit oikealla, vastaanotetut vasemmalla. Jokainen kupla näyttää lähettäjän, aikaleiman ja toimitustilan. Vastaukselliset viestit sisältävät alkuperäisen viestin esikatselun vastauksen yläpuolella.
 
+### Tekstin muotoilu
+
+Viestit tukevat kevyttä rivinsisäistä **Markdown**-muotoilua. Vastaanotetut viestit näyttävät muotoilun ilman Markdown-syntaksimerkkejä:
+
+| Kirjoita            | Syntaksi                      | Näkyy muodossa        |

+| Linkki              | `[nimi](https://example.com)` | napautettava **nimi** |
+
+Kun kirjoitat viestiä, napauta viestikenttää ja kirjoita vähintään kolme merkkiä, niin kentän alle avautuu **muotoilutyökalurivi**. Valitse teksti ja napauta muotoilua lisätäksesi sen ympärille merkinnät (napauta uudelleen poistaaksesi ne). Jos tekstiä ei ole valittuna, muotoilu lisää tyhjän merkkiparin ja sijoittaa kohdistimen niiden väliin. Linkkipainike avaa valintaikkunan URL-osoitteen syöttämistä varten. Kirjoittaessasi luonnoksen muotoilu näkyy kentässä, vaikka taustalla oleva teksti säilyttää Markdown-merkit.
+
+> 💡 **Vinkki:** Muotoilu välitetään mesh-verkossa kirjaimellisina merkkeinä – samoina tavuina, jotka iOS lähettää. Sovellukset, jotka eivät tue Markdownia (vanhemmat sovellukset ja pelkkää laiteohjelmistoa käyttävät laitteet), näyttävät alkuperäiset `**`- ja `~~`-merkit. URL-osoitteet, sähköpostiosoitteet ja puhelinnumerot muutetaan edelleen automaattisesti linkeiksi riippumatta siitä, käytätkö Markdownia.
