How to make a word or statement Bold in Gtalk chat

By Ashish Mohta

This thing also came out accidentally when I was talking to one of my friend Bhumik and I wanted to express him some words as expression of mind. I was typing *Silence* and when the message went into chat window it turned bold as Silence. So idea is if you want to make any word or statement as bold in  just type in * before and after that word or statement in the gtalk chat and also works with chat embedded in gmail.

I am not sure if its a documented anywhere but to me its a discovery like the way I found how to select multiple mails in Gmail

    I am surprised you didnt know about this. I think this feature was there since the very beginning. Similarly you can use _ to write something in italics.
