Format of Posting

Any chance the formatting of the postings could be preserved instead of stripped off?

Thanks!

You can use html tags within
your post for style. That includes
things like <strong> (for bold)
and <u> (for underline) and <s>
(for strike through) .
You can also use <p> for paragraph tags and

<br> for breaks.
In addition, if you have code that want to include
that has something like <and>, simply use <
in place of <.
Hope this helps. [:D]

The best way to preserve formatting in the case of a code block or snippet is by using "code" tags.

Code: Select all

Enclosing any text within [code]
tags yields this result.
Text is preserved as it is entered.[/code]

Experiment with the other BBCode tags found just above the message text box by using the "Preview" button before submitting.

Also, many HTML tags are now functional on this forum.

Happy posting!
