# writePlainText

## Summary

Writes plain text with context-aware formatting

## Signature

```typescript theme={null}
protected writePlainText(text: string, context: IMarkdownEmitterContext): void;
```

## Parameters

### text

**Type**:`string`

The text to write

### context

**Type**:<RefLink target="mint-tsdocs.IMarkdownEmitterContext">`IMarkdownEmitterContext`</RefLink>

Emission context (includes bold/italic state)

## Returns

**Type**:`void`

Writes plain text with context-aware formatting

## Remarks

This method handles the complex logic of inserting markdown formatting markers (bold `**`, italic `_`) while avoiding ambiguous sequences.  **Processing steps:** 1. Split text into \[leading whitespace, content, trailing whitespace] 2. Write leading whitespace as-is 3. Check if a separator is needed before formatting markers 4. Apply bold/italic markers if requested 5. Write escaped content 6. Close bold/italic markers 7. Write trailing whitespace as-is  **Separator logic:** When transitioning between formatted spans (e.g., `**bold***italic*`), we need a zero-width separator to prevent parser ambiguity. The separator is inserted unless the previous character is safe (empty, newline, space, `[`, or `>`).
