When posting messages you may wish to include some formatting such as bold text, italic text and underlined text.
Adding formatting to your post can be done in two ways:
- Using clickable controls similar to those found in most word processors
- Typing formatting commands in BB code
Clickable controls are available in the Standard and Enhanced WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors. The difference between these is that the standard editor will show the BB code in your message and be processed when it is displayed. The enhanced WYSIWYG editor will show your message as it will be displayed while you are typing.
Currently it depends on the Administrator which Editor is enabled ether WYSIWYG or the BB Code Editor.
To use these, simply click the button, for example the B (bold) button and then type to get bold text. Click the button again to stop using that formatting. You can also highlight text that you have already typed then click the formatting button to format existing text.
BB code Tags are a special set of tags similar to HTML tags that can be used in posts to the board. To find out more about the BB codes and which are available go to the Help Topic BB Codes List
