I noticed that you were able to make words appear in bold when reading your sweet reply to Heather. How do you do that? No! Not be sweet!:7 How do you make words appear in bold print?

Oh yeah, I've wondered the same thing -- or how you can use italics, or change the color of the font. Is it a processor thing -- like Mac vs windows?

 

[lorrayne]

You can bold anything by using HTML. You put an open bracket like this: [ followed by the letter b Then you immediately place a closed bracket after the letter b: ] Then you write the text you want bolded after the closed bracket. After you write the text, then you use an open bracket; [ Now the tough part. You need to put a \ followed by a b (\b) followed by a closed bracket; ].

So, practice with me on the world bold by following the directions above.

bold

Did it work?

BOLD

ITALICS

p.s. Just a note that you have to use this slash / not the other one \ . At least this one \ didn't work for me.

Holy crap, that has to be the most complicated thing I've ever heard in my :<b:>entire[/b] life....

Allison - no colons at all and make sure you are using brackets and not arrows. The brackets are showing up as arrows for some reason in everyone's posts so it's hard to know if everyone is actually using the bracket symbol.

 

[materialsgirl]

Oh, so it's just regular HTML code... ETA: sort of. You gotta use the SQUARE brackets, not the greater than/less than symbols. Traditional HTML uses greater than/less than symbols for brackets.

No problem!

Nifty!

 

[DebbieH]

You prob can't see past your tears! Sorry! J/K!!! You are too cute Allison!

Yours didn't work, Em! I wonder if mine will. I used regular brackets, not arrows.

 

[allwildgirl]

Dang. Mine didn't work either.

 

[materialsgirl]

Shelley, I fixed mine - use square brackets!

Allison try the symbol on the key with { } it's the bracket

ETA- don't use that symbol (it's the upper case) use the lower case. for some reason everyone's brackets are showing up as arrows (greater than/less than sign)

Your post should look like a staple facing Right, then small b, a staple facing Left, the word you want to BOLD, then another staple facing R, a slash from bottom to top and end with a staple facing Left. Does that makes sense? LOL!!!
