Formatting the Story Text

The Description field supports markdown, which lets you add simple formatting like bold text, headers, and bullet points.

To do this…	Type this…
Bold text	**your text**
A new paragraph	Leave a blank line between paragraphs
A bullet list	Start each line with -
A section header	Start the line with ##

Tip

Write your story in a natural, conversational tone. Visitors connect better with a personal story than a formal biography. Share the “why” behind your business, not just the facts.
