Enhancing Text Formatting Options in ChatGPT Questions

ChatGPT Feature requests

Introduction:
Hi everyone,

I’m Abdullah, a regular user of ChatGPT, and I wanted to share a suggestion to enhance the text formatting options available in ChatGPT questions. As someone deeply involved in web and full stack development, I believe improving text formatting can greatly enhance user experience and communication clarity on the platform.

Suggestion: Here are some specific text formatting options I propose to include in ChatGPT questions:

  1. Bold Text: Emphasize important words or phrases within a question.
  2. Italic Text: Indicate emphasis, introduce foreign words, or denote titles of books, movies, etc.
  3. Underline: Highlight important points or indicate links within a question.
  4. Strikethrough: Useful for indicating deleted or outdated information.
  5. Superscript: Commonly used for footnotes, mathematical exponents, etc.
  6. Subscript: Useful for chemical formulas, mathematical notation, etc.

Benefits: Incorporating these formatting options would offer users more flexibility in expressing themselves and conveying information effectively. It would also align the platform with common text formatting conventions, enhancing usability and accessibility.

Conclusion: I understand implementing these changes may require resources, but I believe the benefits in user satisfaction and engagement would be significant. I’m eager to hear the community’s thoughts and OpenAI’s insights on the feasibility of introducing these text formatting options in ChatGPT questions.

Looking forward to your feedback and discussion!

Best regards,
Abdullah

I encountered a similar issue as follows …
Hope you may help me out of the wrongful Text Formatting problem here;

I experienced today I have been experiencing ‘LaTeX editing’ formatted responses directly on GPT4 that I did not expect.

Please, what it is about the change in the user interface (UI) formatting feature on GPT4 after interacting and clicking the link, e.g. Overleaf, which was embedded in GPT4 responses. In theory, it should not affect the UI formatting features of GPT4, or Overleaf might installed a particular custom script into GPT4 UI privately that was inadvertently applied to my responses while I was chatting with GPT4.

Tell me how to fix and revert any unwanted changes to the user text interface. How if it is not a result of any unintentional changes by Overleaf or GPT4.
