To create {{Skype markup|*Bold text*}}, simply use asterixes (*): {{Skype markup|*Bold text here*}} To use {{Skype markup|_italics_}}, simply wrap an underscore around the text: {{Skype markup|_Italic text_}} To use a {{Skype markup|/~strikethrough\~}}, the major markup used by Skype remains, but had to be changed due to the nature of Wikia. To declare the opening striker, a forward slash (/) must be placed before the "~", and a backslash (\) must be placed before the closing "~": {{Skype markup|/~Strikethrough\~}} Having text appear in the {{Skype markup|/{code}code\{code} font}}, similar measures must be taken, despite {code} still being used as per Skype: {{Skype markup|/{code}CODE TEXT\{code} {{Skype markup|*Note:* A message *must* be added to the end of the /{code}CODE\{code} font text, otherwise the template will break.}}

Emoticons can also be used, as per their simple forms on Skype. To produce the following emoticons: {{Skype markup|:P :D :) :3 (sarcasm)}}

Simply write: {{Skype markup|:P :D :) :3 (sarcasm)}}

These are the only emoticons that can be used currently. More will be available in the future.

Additional usage
The markdown isn't just for markup. Mostly for use in message walls, you can wrap your entire comment in without using any markup.
