 |

Hey, guys, I know i've asked this before, but how do you get italics and bolds into the stories? I spent forever using some old codes on a story, but they didn't work? Have the codes changed or anything?

Yes. Before pointy brackets got you italics, etc. Now you need to use square ones. (It's probably easiest to change if you use the "find" and "replace all" features under the Edit tab in MS Word.)

HeartoftheNight, can I just say I love your avatar! 
And sorry about the code for italic and bold, etc. It has changed from HTML code to BB code.
do.

You'll see a little "bbCode" graphic at the top. Click on this (allowing pop-ups) and it'll give some helpful pointers about that is allowed and what isn't.
.. bold
... italics
But don't forget that some people read stories as plain text (by downloading onto other devices) and this strips the codes out. So best to avoid if possible.

By square brackets, we mean [ and ]
So, to italicise the word "muggle" you'd type [ i ] muggle [ / i ] ... just without all the spaces.
I usually write with HTML in mind, so all my stories are littered with <I> bits, which I just search-and-replace before posting here to OSA. |

Yeah, some friends got me addicted to Supernatural. Saw the gagreel and just loved that part. Had to save it.
