When you want to make text bold, you can do it by pressing the small "B" button in the reply form, and pressing that button again after the end of the last thing you want to be bold. When you do that, what it's actually doing is inserting [ b ] (without spaces) before the text to be made bold, and [ / b ] at the end of the text to be made bold. The bit inside the [ ] provides an instruction for all of the text that follows, and the / terminates the instruction. To make bold text red, or basically any color, simply nest the instructions. You want the text to be bold, so put a [ b ] then you want the bold text to be red, so do [color = red ] Then write the text that you want to be bold and red. When you have written everything that should be bold and red, and you want the next text to go back to black and normal put a [ / color ] to go back to default black and a [ / b ] to go back to default not-bold. The text you type after that will be normal. The example below will hopefully show this more clearly, however the example will be written with extra spaces. To actually make this give the desired effect, remove all spaces within square brackets. If I wrote it without the extra spacing, you wouldn't be able to see the example because it would be read as invisible formatting instructions. [ b ][ color = red ] The text in between the bracketed instructions will have the instructions applied to it. This text would be bold and red if all the spaces were removed from inside the square brackets [ / color ][ / b ] This text is normal. This text is bold and red. It was created using the above instructions. Now the text is back to normal. |
