How do I write "bold" letters in notes?

First of all: excuse my english, I hope I wont write to strange...javascript:emoticon(':wink:')

You can see the question...

How do I write "bold" or "underlined" texts if I am writing a note?

Use HTML tags. For example <strong>...</strong> (or <b>...</b>, though I prefer the "semantic markup" way of doing things) around some text will make it stand out.

Where can I find these "HTML tags"?

[Jetlag]

there's a quick reference list here:

http://www.geog.ox.ac.uk/faq/html-tags.html

The most useful ones will be under the section "basic text". Use the opening tag, then what you want to be altered, then the closing tag, eg:

<b> hello </b> everyone

will become

hello everyone

Actually, since you put a space before and after the tag it would be;

hello everyone

Hrm... seems you can't put two spaces in a row on the forum. Strange.

I don't know about multiple spaces in how the forum parses things, but if you don't use a no-break character, HTML won't display two spaces in a row-- it just ignores the extras.

<b>test &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; test</b>

Doesn't look like that works.

[mortaine]

OK, that's just proof that the forum strips the nbsp character.

However, the code BBCode tag seems to allow multiple spaces:

Code: Select all
