Italics is[i] before the text.
Replace the[] with > and <.
When you want to stop the italics use the
close [/i] again replacing the [].

Cool Mesich!

And how about font styles?

I see your text is not a "standard" block. How did you do that?

This is great, Thanks!

Replace font style with something like
arial black

Mesich,
Where in the "order" of "code"(forgive me if that is not the right term for it)would that go?

And is there a list of text styles beside arial?

Use the HTML Tester. Works just like a forum.

Thank you, Mesich

I learned a lot on Robert Bale's site last week. And have used that tester many times since finding it then too.

I'll go deeper into those other links you gave me, but so far have not found a list of text types or fonts that can be used. Maybe it is in there and I just haven't found it yet.

Thanks! I very much appreciate your kind help, Mesich.

Thanks, Terri

Jennifer,
I learned a little trick that makes it quicker and very easy.

Write the basic code on Notepad. In the place where you put in the website URL, I put in,----put website URL here----. In the place for what the text will show, I put in,----put in what it will say here----. And so on with color, etc.

And then I save it on my desktop as "Hyperlink form.txt"

And whenever I want to use it, I just take out those things and put in the real stuff, copy and paste it into the message.

It works pretty well and saves a lot of time typing all that stuff from scratch each time.

Hope that might work and save time for you too.

How do you think I get those hyperlinks in these messages so quick? Do you really think I type out each one? NOT. I have a few notepads of my own tucked away where I can get to them, then I just copy and paste the code into the bottom of my messages.

It is an awesome shortcut and effort saver.

Thank you, Mesich and all the others that have shown me how to do it.
