    Wish there was common nomenclature for referring to posters or parts of a comment to make the context clearer.

    For comments, that’s how I do it.

    Throw one, too, or three asterisks around each side of the sentence you want to highlight.

    No need for special verbage or nomenclature. It’s done visually.

        Yeah I think what I dislike about that is it breaks up the flow of whatever I am writing.

        No, It doesn’t have to.

        You can just write it out straight, without formatting, and then after you’re done that go back and add the asterisks to emphasize the parts that you want to emphasize, already having your thoughts jotted down.
