How to Create Italic Text in YouTube Comments
Creating italic text in YouTube comments is equally simple. All you need to do is enclose your text within underscores (_). Similar to bold text, make sure to remove any spaces before and after the underscores to ensure proper formatting.
Example:

Practice Example:
When you're explaining a complex topic, using italics can enhance the readability and provide emphasis. For example, if you're discussing the importance of metadata optimization in YouTube, your comment will stand out more.
How to Strike Through Text in YouTube Comments
Strikethrough text is another useful feature that can be applied in YouTube comments to indicate that the text is no longer relevant, incorrect, or should be ignored. To create a strikethrough, put hyphens (-) around the text you wish to cross out.
Example:
-The recommended answer to a question from a few years ago is no longer accurate-
Practice Example:
It's important to keep your comments up-to-date. If you find that the advice given in a comment is no longer relevant due to changes in guidelines or technology, consider strikethrough formatting to indicate the outdated information.
