Make Keywords stand out
To make keywords like function names or commands stand out of the text without putting them in a code block, you can use this symbol ` (grave accent) before and after the respective word (in some languages you might have to press SPACE after it to make it appear).
And the * does some magic, too 
The text above was typed like this
