(Bold/italic/underline) I assumed that it would be like other programs - select the text with the mouse and then click the button. But that didn't work for me in a recent post. After looking at what was generated, I was able to figure out the codes, but I don't think that was really the intended process (?)   Dave Ross Supporter Username: Dave Post Number: 5208 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 11:10 am:        Click once to get the beginning tag. Type what you want formated. Click button again to close the tag at end of text you want formatted.   Nohero Citizen Username: Nohero Post Number: 2103 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 11:41 am:        Or, just type in the formatting command. For example, for September 19, \pirate{This is the text you want formatted}, comes out as: "Arrrghhh! This be the text that you be wantin' to format, matey."
