how to format text


Website Feedback


Hello, I am having no luck having my text format as per tab below text block. Is there a certain browser I need to make this work or is there a setting or something I need to change


Try typing exactly what you see under the How to format your text heading, starting with the line: [quote=someone said

Type and submit it. If it doesn't work, maybe someone can figure out what's going wrong by what you end up with.

Not sure why why not.

Here at Paizo it's pretty easy.

Then start with the line "This is bold and italics and strikethrough." Copy it from below "How to format your text", paste it in the box, and submit it so the rest of us can see it. Without knowing what happens when you try formatting your text, none of us can help you figure out what's going wrong.

EDIT: Looking at the way you quoted yourself, you're not putting the end tag on, the one that starts with [/

Without the end tag, most of the formatting won't work. It's like parentheses or quotations marks: you have to have one at the beginning of what you're formatting and one at the end.

Is there a way to underline?


I don't think so. It was mentioned a while back, but I don't think anything has been released yet. It is probably just a priority thing.
