Maybe you want to create focus on something, instill the idea of an action taking place or maybe your just a caps&bold spammer. Either way, Google Plus gives you the ability to create some basic text formatting on your posts.  

Bold Text

To create bold text all you need to do is add a star around the text you wish to create bold.
 
*my bold text* will appear as my bold text

 

Italic Text

 

To create italic text all you need to do is add an underscore around the text you wish to create italic.
 
_my italic text_ will appear as my italic text

Strikethough Text


To create strikethrough text all you need to do is add a dash around the text where you wish to create a strikethrough. 
 
-my strikethrough text- will appear as my strikethrough text

Combining them


It is also possibly to combine the different styles
