has anybody figures out text formatting and styling within annotations (the "tips" that live displays on its left)?

i've accidentally discovered that a front-slash ( / ) turns its following text cursive (..but i haven't even found out how to close the styling"-bracket").

can't test it right now, but maybe the format of live's lessons applies here too. see

thanks mothergarage – seems like a plausible idea, but unfortunately: no ://

only the slash applies and sets text cursive. the rest simply outputs as is.

Bump! I'd love to add newlines, italics, bold etc to my annotations... but how?

This may not have worked 7 years ago, but the page Mothergarage refers to contains the correct information.

Paste the following text in the info view editor in Max.

*Text surrounded by asterisks will appear in bold.*

/Text surrounded by forward slashes will appear in italic./

-> Text preceded by a dash, right arrow, and space will be a bullet point.

Text indentation will persist until the next Return.
