 |
|
| OK, perhaps I'm asking a somewhat stupid question. How do I get the italics to work on this site? I've tried to figure it out on my own, but it seems that I can't puzzle it out. Someone please help! I have a story that will need them when I post it. Thanks! |

Do this before the part you want italicized ( <i> )
And this after ( </i> )
Just take away the parenthesis. If I didn't add them, the html would have disappeared and that wouldn't have helped you

That's for story text, right?
for post text you use the handy little button above or [ i ] [ /i ] without the spaces.

Or highlight the text and click the even handier i button at the top of the page
NARF! and I just realized, if I don't put text between the html, it doesn't disappear...DUH!

Just one thing to be aware of--if you make italics that way, then anyone who chooses the "download story as plain text" option won't be able to see them. For that reason, I put text I want to emphasize in *both italics and asterisks*.
