How To Enable Italics?
How To Enable Italics?
I do miss being able to use italics - sparingly. When I tried what appeared to be the italics button (above the box for typing in), I got brackets instead. So how do they work, please, and can whichever kind person responds please explain simply?!

They work fine for me. Manually you can insert them by [ then i then], closing the quote with [/ then i then ]

Re: How To Enable Italics?
The parentheses and 'i' are perfectly normal - its the bbcode for italics.
when posted comes out as
look at this italics
Code: Select all
[i]look at this italics[/i]
look at this italics

Thank you both. I'd be a bit wary of posting something which appeared to be in the wrong format, and hoping it would emerge correctly, but if that's what you have to do... as for bb code, I recall this being mentioned before but it's too technical for me.

If you're worried about how something will appear then just click the "preview" button, it lives just to the left of the "submit" button.

Thank you, Steve - I hadn't thought of that, always being in such a hurry! Though I do check for typos, and to ensure I'm not posting in the wrong thread again...
