Improving your Post’s Appearance

Typography

You can use Italics, Boldface, and indentation to improve the appearance of your post by using imbedded Hypertext Mark-Up Language (HTML) codes in your text.

(1) To use italics, place "<i>" in front of the word(s) you want to italicize, and turn off the italics by placing "</i>" at the end of the italicized passage.

EXAMPLE:
Type: That's the most <i>ridiculous</i> thing I've ever heard!
Result: That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!

(2) To use boldface, place "<b>" in front of the word(s) you want to make bold, and turn off the boldface by placing "</b>" at the end of the bold passage.

EXAMPLE:
Type: That's the most <b>ridiculous</b> thing I've ever heard!
Result: That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!

(3) To indent the beginning of a paragraph or sentence, insert a couple of non-breaking space characters by placing "<code>&nbsp; &nbsp;</code>" before the text.

EXAMPLE:
Type: <code>&nbsp; &nbsp;</code>That's the most thing I've ever heard!
Result:    That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!

Hyperlinks

You can imbed a hyperlink using the following technique.  Just before the passage you wish to act a link, write "<a href="http://thenameofyourwebsite.com">" before the passage, and follow it with "</a>".

EXAMPLE:
Type: My favorite website is <a href="http://criminalbrief.com">Criminal Brief</a>.
Result: My favorite website is Criminal Brief.
