I've always wondered how to put some of my words in bold print. There are other tricks like this that I would like to learn if someone would be kind enough to post them. thanks in advance

Jsut include these tags surrounding the text you want in bold, etc:

[b]This text is in bold.[/b]
[i]This text is in italic.[/i]
[u]This text is underlined.[/u]
[s]This text is crossed out.[/s]

Hi Sleeve, I've tried to implement your advice, including the information in the link provided by Webby; yet for whatever reason, It isn't totally working for me.

I can get the formatting in bold, italic, etc., but I'm not able to highlight the parts of the text I want to.

Although I haven't tried this yet; I'm guessing that you can get colour by using ? for example; I don't quite get the size part of it yet.

APPEDENDUM: The colour/font/size part isn't working either; I just tried to type in purple font using the the 2 square keys surrounding it, and they disapeared.

Any further guidence you could provide on this subject, would be much appreciatied .

Eventhough I've got the links and the uploading down pat; the HTML contiues to be a struggle for me.

The chart, while extremely helpful and detailed, is very confusing to me.

Maybe I'm just computer illiterate or, maybe it's because I'm DYSLEXIC, and there's no hope here {sigh}.

Please help {begs}.

Oh BTW, just what exactly is "CODE," and "Hyperlink?"

Okay... let's see if I can start with the easy questions and work up to the harder ones.

>just what exactly is "CODE," and "Hyperlink?"

"CODE" represents any type of standard HTML markup language code used in creating webpages. If you do not know how to program in html (ie: you cannot create a webpage from scratch), then do not worry about this... there are a few cool things that you can do with html, (like making a car drive across the screen, or making font glow)... but you'll be unlikely to use any other html code that is not explicitly covered in the table.

A "Hyperlink" is any text that you can click on, that takes you to a website. For example, this is a hyperlink:
http://www.survivorblows.com

I can get the formatting in bold, italic, etc., but I'm not able to highlight the parts of the text I want to.

I'm not sure what you mean by this... if you mean that you are unable to get *only* certain parts of text in bold, then you need to include the [b] tag at the start of the text you want in bold, and the [/b] tag at the end of the text you want bold (same is true for italic, underline, etc)

For example... if I write:
This sentence contains some [b]bold[/b] text.

It will display:
This sentence contains some bold text.

As for font color and size, if I write:
This sentence contains some [font color="blue"]blue[/font] text.

It will display:
This sentence contains some blue text.

If I write:
This is a [font size="6"]large[/font] word.

It will display:
This is a large word.

If I write:
This is a [font color="blue" size="6"]large, blue[/font] word.

It will display:
This is a large, blue word.

In place of "blue" you can use just about any other color (or hexadecimal representation of a color) that you can think of. Most colors are supported by your browser... but all you have to do is hit "preview" to see if your color worked.

In place of "6", you can list any number 1 through 7 for size. 1 is very small (the size of the "last edited" message), while 7 is very large... You can also put "-1" (for example)... and it will make the font one size smaller than normal or "+2" (for example) to make it two sizes larger.

This should cover the vast majority of html code that you will need to make posts. All the other stuff in the table is usually unnecessary.

You never know what might be up my sleeeve...

What is markup language?

How do you make a car drive across the screen, or make a font glow?
