You all have probably wondered at some point how I do all this formatted text. Well, it actually has to do with HTML code, but the more basic (usually) elements. Here is how you do each (replace all "*" with "" (nothing)).


Helpful:

Bold:
<*b*>Bold text<*/b*>
or
<*strong*>Bold text<*/strong*>

Italic:
<*i*>Italic text<*/i*>

Underlined:
<*u*>Underlined text<*/u*>

Superscript:
<*sup*>Superscript text<*/sup*>

Subscript:
<*sub*>Subscript text<*/sub*>

Strikethrough
<*strike*>Strikethrough text<*/strike*> or
<*del*>Strikethrough text<*/del*>

shadowkirby47.deviantart.com/j… >Hyperlinks:
<*a*href="URL goes here">Hyperlink<*/a*>

Description List An element that can be used for organizing and indentation.
Recommended method:
<*dl*>
<*dt*>Description title<*/dt*>
<*dd*>Indented text<*/dd*>
<*/dl*>
Other method (with possible format errors):
<*dl*>
<*dt*>Description title
<*dd*>Indented text
<*/dl*>


Somewhat Unhelpful:

Quotation offset
<*blockquote*> Quote text<*/blockquote*>

"Abbreviation"
<*abbr*>Text<*/abbr*>

Horizontal Line
<*hr /*>





If you want to know anything else or if something was unclear, please leave a comment about your question.

VERSION 3.2 UPDATE: In case you are confused, the numbering system is set up like this: [Major Update Number].[Format/Organization Update Number]
Also, because I'm always busy, updating this will be split up into many different versions.

VERSION 2.1 UPDATE: I had to re-organize everything so it would look cleaner.

VERSION 2 UPDATE: I apologize for it being so messy now, but I added four new formatting techniques, and two of them can actually be useful!

You can also use "ctrl b"Β for bold and "ctrl i" for italicΒ (Either type first, highlight, then click the keys OR hit the keys first then type and hit the same keys when you're finished)

You're supposed to take out the *

They're only there so you can see the code without it automatically doing what it's supposed to (if they just typed it as is, it would come out like this and you wouldn't be able to see it
