How to write a LinkedIn post that gets read
**Hook them in the first line.** The feed only shows two lines before "see more".
- Lead with a result, not a setup
- Break ideas into short lines
- End with a question
*Formatting matters too* — bold pulls the eye, and bullets give the scanner somewhere to land.
Try it: paste this, hit Convert, and copy the result.

How to format text for LinkedIn
The AnyPost LinkedIn text formatter at anypost.md/free-tools/linkedin-formatter turns plain text or Markdown into styled text that stands out in the LinkedIn feed. LinkedIn has no native rich text in posts, comments, headlines, or the About section, so the tool swaps ASCII letters for Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols—bold (𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱), italic (𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤), bold italic, monospace, script, gothic (Fraktur), and double-struck—and uses combining marks for underline (u̲n̲d̲e̲r̲l̲i̲n̲e̲) and strikethrough (s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶). Select text in the editor, click a style, and copy the result; it pastes into posts, comments, headlines, messages, and bios as ordinary text. A Convert Markdown button maps headings and **bold** to Unicode bold, *italic* to Unicode italic, `code` to monospace, list markers to • bullets, and --- to a divider line. A live LinkedIn card preview shows how the post renders, and everything runs in the browser—nothing is uploaded. Use formatting selectively: Unicode glyphs are not indexed by LinkedIn search and screen readers may read them character-by-character, so keep core keywords in plain text and reserve styling for a bold hook and a few emphasized phrases. Pair it with the social post preview and post linter on the free-tools hub.
Questions
How do I make bold or italic text on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn has no native rich text in posts or comments, so the formatter swaps your letters for Unicode bold (𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱) and italic (𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤) variants that LinkedIn treats as normal text. Select the words you want to style, click a style button, then copy and paste the result into LinkedIn.
Does the formatting work in the mobile app?
Yes. Bold, italic, and monospace are part of the standard Unicode set, so they render consistently on iOS, Android, desktop, and the web app. Preview on both desktop and mobile before publishing, and prefer bold and italic for anything important.
Can I make underline and strikethrough text?
Yes. Underline (u̲n̲d̲e̲r̲l̲i̲n̲e̲) and strikethrough (s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶) are created with Unicode combining marks that render in LinkedIn posts, comments, and profiles. Select your text, apply the style, then copy and paste it into LinkedIn.
Which text styles are supported?
Bold, italic, bold italic, underline, strikethrough, monospace, script (cursive), gothic (Fraktur), and double-struck. You can also build bullet lists, numbered lists, headings, and dividers from Markdown. Every style works in posts, comments, headlines, messages, and the About section.
Can I convert Markdown to LinkedIn formatting?
Yes. Paste Markdown from a doc, blog draft, or notes and click Convert Markdown. Headings and **bold** become Unicode bold, *italic* becomes Unicode italic, `code` becomes monospace, list markers become • bullets, and --- becomes a divider line — ready to paste into LinkedIn.
Does Unicode formatting affect LinkedIn search or accessibility?
It can, so use it selectively. Unicode bold and italic characters are separate glyphs, not standard letters, so formatted words are not indexed by LinkedIn search and screen readers may read them character-by-character. Keep core keywords in plain text and reserve formatting for a bold hook and a few emphasized phrases.
Why doesn't LinkedIn have native formatting?
LinkedIn keeps the post and comment editor plain so text renders identically across every device. The one exception is the article editor (Write article), which has real rich text — so you only need a Unicode formatter for posts, comments, headlines, and your profile.
