Adding italics to The AnswerBank

[AB Editor]

You can now make lines of text italic on The AnswerBank.

Great for:

1. Emphasis
2. Quoting other users

It's dead easy.

Just add [ i ] without the spaces to both ends of the text you wish to italicise.

A bit like this:

Where have all the other answers gone to, room 101?

are you thinking of the original thread Old Git?

it's still in the News section :-)

[Nibble]

Can we put trolls/stupid post/comments into Room 101 as well then?

Ah yes thanks for that they are of course in the news section, how very confusing it is all getting, makes me wonder was it all worth it?

[lyall]

Yay, a new toy.... I can now emphasize things!

This is a thread I can refer back to AOG.

The News thread contains the original discussion and as such would not be helpful as a tutorial.

The Luddite has got it I think

[tenrec]

Thanks for that Ed.
I just have to try it!

[carrust]

[chelle7272]

[carrust]

We want bold, we want bold, we want bold............

[netibiza]

Oooh evil, what have I done


trying again

[jno]

Neti, do try to have your brackets facing each other

[excelsior-1]

marvellous, i've always liked to use italics when corresponding, i find it is much more presentable, thank you

[heathfield]

Hurrah![i I've been itching for a way to add emphasis to a word, but rejected the use of capital letters as being [i]de trop]. I feel italics are fine for quotes, but I'll add my vote for bold for word emphasis.

[heathfield]

Now what happened there^? I'm positive I entered everything correctly!

[netibiza]

Or:

[i]¡¡ɹəɥʇoq ɥɔnɯ ʇou ɥʇıʍ sɔılɐʇı op puɐ sʞuıl əʇıɹʍɹəʌo 'ɹnoloɔ uı əʇıɹʍ plnoɔ əʍ qɐs uı əɯıʇ ɐ uodn əɔuo[i]

looks like you played all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order, heathfield.
