How Do I Create Bold, Italic, or Underlined Text?
 

Introduction


Webboard doesn't provide an easy way to add formatting to text in posts.  However, simple html codes can be used to change the appearance of your text.  Html "tags" are letters that appear in angled brackets.  For the purposes of this guide, there are spaces between all of the characters in the tags, so they remain visible.  When you are using the tags, remember to type them in without the spaces.

Creating bold text To create bold text, follow the steps in the table below.
