This is a Test

Italicized emphasis using HTML (HyperText Markup Language - the scripting language of web pages) may be possible by surrounding the text you wish to emphasize with HTML tags.

Emphasized! is created by placing the 'em' and '/em' tags on either side of the word. Enclose these tags with angle brackets .

Example:
More italics
{em| More italics {/em|

substitute:
- the less-than symbol for {
- the greater-than symbol for |
Why we had to use this substitute characters in the example is explained in the 'Beware Angle Brackets' thread.


If this doesn't work it'll look kinda silly - if so, kindly ignore my fumbling.

OK - looks like it works. Feel free to try out this technique or practice by appending to this thread rather than creating a new topic. Thanks.

WOW, it WORKS . AND, I'm learning new HTML skills! Thanks JTA! Now that we've mastered italicization, how about underlining?????

JTA, it didn't work for me when I used the squiggely brackets {}, but it DID when I used the angle brackets...

works {em| NOT works {/em|

Works GREAT! Big deal - so how do we make it Big? And how do we set a color oh master?

How about this John?

use: font size=? at the beginning with a less than and greater than sign around it, there is a space between font and size.
use: /font after it with the less than and greater than signs around it
use sizes 1-8 or so (size 2 is about the size of the fonts already, 6 is what I used above)
for color use: font color="ff000" at the beginning with the less than and greater than signs around it. Space between font and color
use: /font after it with the less than and greater than size around it also. The 5 digit number/letters represent what the color is. Use the link below for a color chart and their number/letter combinations. The "ff000" above happens to be the number for red.
You can combine size and color together in the same tag ie: font size=6 color="ff000" all within the less than and greater than signs. This tells it to make the statement size 6 with a red color. Use spaces between the 3 different parts of the tag. End the tag with the same /font within less than and greater than signs. If you click on "edit" of this note, you will see what the top tag looks like.
