I just posted my first story over here (btw. Hello everybody! *waves happily*). I used a lot of "italic" parts in the text, but I don't know how to edit my chapters to keep those "italics" here, too.

Can anybody help me, please?

Greetings

The italics code is:

<i> words </i> for stories and

[ i ] words [ /i ] for the forums

Hope that helps!

Welcome to the madness!!

You need to insert the HTML for italics -

Here is an example:

[i*] Mora is sexy! [/i*]


Remove the asterix/star and just use the [ and i.

This will produce - Mora is sexy! < Which is sooo true

Now I have the ultimate proof that I'm really blonde - of course I knew the HTML-codes, and I used them... the only thing I didn't realize was the simple fact that the "correct" version only shows up where it's viewable for the readers.

Oooops. I'm a dork.

Thank you anyway!

Ah, so there is a different code for the stories as for the forums! That would be why I haven’t managed to do that yet myself! So maybe it is a blonde question, because I am [under the dye] and I have been having trouble with that an’ all!
Cheers

Yay, it does work! It even works adding the HTML code into MS Word before I paste on chapters, like Mora told me it would ages ago.

At last I have conquered this! Twisted Evil

Jumping in rather late to the thread, but I will have to try that. These code thingies baffle me. Why can you not just type and have it come out the way you want it to? I would tell you why, but then the guys would jump all over me for it. LOL.
