I was hoping not to bother the Admins again, I've already done that once this week. So does anyone know how to make italicized words in a fic? I'm sure there is a very simple code, I just don't know it. Figures...
Also, when I need to use a symbol letter this happens:
'Manwë' turns to 'Manw.' Does anyone know how to get the 'ë' in a fic instead of a '.'
Oddly, it worked for my first two chapters and now it pooped out. I don't think it's something with the site, just user-difficulties. Help? _________________ -The Queen of Everything - so dubed by Aerin

I do know how to do the italicized words cuz I asked the admins that very question myself, once upon a time.
What you need to do is in the text window where you have cut and pasted your story chapter is to go hunt down the words you want to put into italics and then use this html tag [ i ] at the start of the phrase you want italicized and then use this tag [ /i ] at the end of the phrase.
NOTE - When you actually do this make sure to not have any spaces between the brackets and the letter "i." I only left a space to show you what the tag looked like.
As for your other question, I am totally stumped, because I have never encountered that problem before. _________________ abandon thought, and let the dream descend... |

Ah, thanks. I've been having to improvise by using all caps for stress, but it just doesn't always convey the same tone of voice. _________________ -The Queen of Everything - so dubed by Aerin

I think <i> </i> or <em> </em> works in the fic section. Most html is stripped, but I think I let those through.
