Is it steganography if it's obvious?
no.
Bacon's cipher was designed to hide text inside other text, photos, etc.
Each character in the hidden text requires 5 bits of information. For example it could be if a character is bold, or not. Maybe wheather people in a photo have their head turned to the side or not. So why not "hide" 5 bits of information in a single character? Who would even notice? Turns out everyone. This is an obnoxious combination. This works on the markdown used by discord, or GitHub. Just select the one you want.
GitHubs markdown uses html for underline. Simply select the output format you wish, either Discord style markdown, or GitHub style markdown.
Use the decode tab to recover the hidden text.
