In the window where I am writing this question, above the box into which I type this question, there are 5 symbols - the first is for 'bold', the second for 'italics' . Whar are the next 3 for ? Or how can I find out ? Basty

They're HTML tags. There are plenty more HTML tags and usually are the basic language used when writing a web page. 1. Bold 2. Italics 3. Strikeout 4. wwwdot-Hyperlink-dotcom 5. Text in a pre element is displayed in a fixed-width font, and it preserves both spaces and line breaks Colours for example (no space in f ont font): <f ont color="#0033FF"> Blue </f ont> <f ont color="#FF0000"> Red </f ont> <f ont color="#088A08"> Green </f ont> Other forums sometimes use a different codes, probably the most common other is BBCODE.

Thank you. Apart from the third for strike-out, I feel only fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Basty
