Comment Formatting Hints
December 5th 2007 06:01 am
Use HTML tags around your text as you type it to produce formatted results. HTML opening tags have a form like this:
<i>, <b>, <strike>, or <blockquote>.
Closing tags are the same except they have a slash after the < character:
</i>, </b>, </strike>, or </blockquote> .
- For italics, write your text between the <i> </i> pair
- For bold use the <b> </b> pair
- For
strikethroughuse the <strike> </strike> pair, and - For blockquotes use the <blockquote> </blockquote> pair. Blockquotes may be nested–you can have a quote within a quote–but be sure to use as many closing tags as opening tags.
If you want to be really adventurous you can insert hyperlinks. Here’s the syntax:
<a href=LINK URL>text you’re linking from</a>
