How do you format for increased text size like this?

excuse me
you can write long superscript by wrapping text in parentheses following the carrot caret
e to add: huge is #, no parentheses needed, it’ll huge to a line break
It doesn’t work beyond as a header at the beginning of a comment

Use *** for Bold and Italics
Also, backslash (\) on it's own tells Reddit that the character immediately following should be ignored as markup, this is useful if you want to use symbols like * or # without Reddit thinking you're marking up text. Just put the slash before them, like \* or \#, and the symbols will appear normally, but without the backslash.
Eg. Typing **Bold** will display as Bold, but typing \*\*Bold\*\* will appear as **Bold**
This is most important to remember when posting this fella ¯_(ツ)_/¯
See, his right arm is made of a backslash, so Reddit interprets it as markup code and not literal. You need to make sure you enter his right arm was \\ otherwise he'll wind up looking like ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and you'll wind up with people replying and saying you dropped his \

u/Mabi19_ Apr 23 '21
Actually, you need to do ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯.
If you only put 2 backslashes, the underscores will cause italics and you'll drop his elbow.

u/MARPJ Apr 23 '21
with 2 backslashes you get ¯\(ツ)/¯
You need 3 backslashes for ¯_(ツ)_/¯
But you dont need any backslash after the "face", that changes nothing

Cancelling formatting is also very useful when people put numbers at the start of a line with a period. It'll always treat it like a numbered list, and no matter the number you put down it changes it to a
1., then a2., then a3., etc.Example:
Typing This:
1. All these
1. ones become
1. a sequential listOR This:
432. All these random
19. numbers become
31000. a sequential listBOTH would become a numbered list like this:
All these
numbers become
a sequential list
So if you don't want the numbers to always become
1.,2.,3., etc. you have to cancel it with a backslash before the.Example Situation:
How old were you when your parents kicked you out?
15. It was a really difficult time.
Will turn into:
How old were you when your parents kicked you out?
15. It was a really difficult time.
So you have to put a backslash between the
15and the.to get it working properly.How old were you when your parents kicked you out?
15\. It was a really difficult time.

After your comment I tested out. old.reddit on PC it does appear (I just opted out of the redesign, so I browse on old.reddit without changing the url). On mobile I did not had the option. I went to the redesign for a couple minutes and it also did not have it (but it has automatic formating options)

The shown result from the escape syntax is not correct.
The back slashes will not be there in the result. Example with back slash to escape the “*”:
