WEBGRRL
Ouch, what a long title… sorry.
This is a little collection of HTML-type codes and stuff that will help you make your posts and Bmails look cool.
While you’re here, checkout HOW TO POST IMAGES AND CREATE LINKS… for more cool computer-geek coding tips!
HOW TO MAKE YOUR TEXT “BOLD”
Put an asterix ” * ” at the start and the end of your text.
It will look like, well, it will look just like all the headings I have created here (but it wont put your text in capitals – I did that bit with the [SHIFT] key!!!)
HOW TO MAKE YOUR TEXT IN “ITALICS“
Put a line ” _ ” at the start and end of your text.
HOW TO PUT A “LINE SPACE” IN YOUR BMAILS
1. At the end of your sentence press the [ENTER] key.
2. Press the [SPACEBAR] twice.
3. Press the [ENTER] key.
4. Type your next sentence…
HOW TO MAKE A “QUOTATION BOX”
NOTE:
- Quotation Boxes must not be preceded by any text. ie… they must be the first entry in a text-box.
- Quotation Boxes only work in “Forum” posts, and “Comment-Box” posts.
- Quotation Boxes do NOT work in Bmails.
The Procedure…
1. Copy the text you want to quote.
2. At the start of the text box enter a ” > “
3. Paste the text directly after the ” > “
4. Press the [ENTER] key.
HOW TO PUT A “LINE” ACROSS YOUR TEXT-BOX
Use three asterixes ” * “
The Procedure…
1. At the end of your sentence press the [ENTER] key. (you need to have a “Linespace” above the asterixes!)
2. Enter three (3) asterixes ” * ”.
3. Press the [ENTER] key twice. (you need to have a Linespace after the three asterixes!)
It will look like, well, you can see plenty of examples here!
HOW TO PUT A “CANCEL-LINE” THRU YOUR TEXT
Use the Minus symbol ” – ” before and after your text and you will get a cancel line thru your text.
It will look like this:
Cancel
Ok, so the observant RB members out there have probably noticed that there is no line thru that bit of text, ooops, sorry, don’t understand why it does that. But it is in grey, which looks cool, and I didn’t know how to do that before.
Cool, huh?
HOW TO CREATE “BULLETED-TEXT”
This can interact badly with any previous text, especially anything that is written in bold. But anyway…
Use the Hash symbol ” # ” followed by a space, and then your text.
- It will look like this!
I tried to make this line BOLD, and then make the next line a bullet
- but when this line is bulleted it will effect the previous BOLD line, as you can see…
HOW TO MAKE BIG TEXT
Use the Hash symbol ” # ” but do not add a space after it.
It will look like this, well actually it only works in the Forum Posts, so you’re all gonna have to take my word for it.
HOW TO UNDERLINE YOUR TEXT
Use the Plus Symbol ” + ” before and after your text.
There is a great example of what this looks looks like in the heading for this computer-geek hint. Cool, huh?
