# Inline markup in TYPO3 documentation {#rest-inline-markup}

In general we support any inline markup in reStructuredText that was previously
supported by Sphinx.

For example, use one asterix for *italics* `*italic*` and two for **bold** `**bold**`.

Links are described in depth in chapter
[Links in ReStructured Text](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/h2document:how-to-document-hyperlinks)
and are also classed as inline text roles.

All [named inline text roles](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/h2document:text-roles)
have the following syntax: `:text-role-name:`Some Text``.
Some text roles expect the text inside backticks to have a particular syntax.
