Adding Bold and Italic formatting to thread posts
To add formatting to your text you need to place what's known as html tags around the text to be changed. Using these tags you can highlight anything from a single letter to a whole book - anything placed between these tags will be formatted. From the following instructions, type only the letters/symbols between the quotation marks.
To set Bold
To start formatting bold, type "<" then "b" then ">" at the insertion point. To stop formatting bold, type "<" then "/" then "b" then ">" at the end point.
To set Italic
To start formatting italic, type "<" then "i" then ">" at the insertion point. To stop formatting italic, type "<" then "/" then "i" then ">" at the end point.
Now practise below, kudos to whoever can set bold italic first.

Gawd blimey, you two, I was only trying to be helpful - someone else asked how to do this. "Shoot me down in flames," as they used to say in the 80s.
I must practise.
I must practise.

I must eat chocolate.
Damn. That always happens...

It's still a faff to do it.
