[Raffae]

Hi, 
Could you please help met with the following 2 questions:
1. how can I insert special characters such as bold, italics, underlined, in social posts generated via HubSpot?
2. I do use # in de body of my tekst to highlight the name of our products of of our target audience. In the past this was a way to increase vsibility on LinkedIn. I don't know if this is still the case or on the opposite this may lead to disrupt attention of our readers. 

Looking forward to your much appreciate help!
Regards,

Raffaela

Hi @Raffae,

Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram do not natively support formatting text with bold, italics, or underlined styles in their regular post or comment sections. The text formatting options are typically limited to basic text input, such as plain text, links, and emojis.

However, there are some workarounds or third-party tools that people have used to achieve limited text formatting in their posts. For example, you can try copying and pasting formatted text from other apps or websites, but the results may vary, and the formatting may not be consistent across different devices or platforms. HubSpot does not support this.

Regarding hashtags, using themin the body of your text to highlight the names of your products or target audience on LinkedIn can be a helpful strategy, but it's important to be mindful of how you use them. Your primary goal should be to provide valuable content that resonates with your target audience, and if used strategically, hashtags can complement your efforts to increase visibility and engagement.

Hope this helps!
