[Closed] STW posts - how to use icons etc..

Press the one you want, type the text and press it again.

Press it once before the text you want to change, then press again after it.

[b]as [/b]I understand it for any hypertext mark up you need to select the function ( hit the button once ) type the text you want and then hit the button again to [u] "close" [/u] the function

or hey... [i]highlight [/i]the text and then hit the function button once

When you edit your post, you only see the tags (the commands in the square brackets). When you post it, it changes it (it's not WYSIWYG).

Wrong way round.

You can just highlight the text & press the relevant button, it'll do the formatting for you

Or type in the [s]words[/s] then [b]highlight[/b] the[i][b] ones[/b][/i] you want to change and press just the once.

If you have a crappy browser, that doesn't work.

Also if you select the text you want to alter then press the appropriate button it wraps the text with the right bit of code.

Edit: Uplink also beat me to it.

yep, doesn't work for me if you highlight the text and press once..which is what I'd been doing for ages. The prefixing and suffixing works fine.

Thanks very much for help guys 😀

There is a "Preview Post" button that lets you see what it will look like without damaging your reputation.
