Quote

Greater than > at beggining of line or highlight and right click quotable person’s text.

Solid Line: by using underscore ___ or negative/dash — more than twice on its own line.

Big Highlight

After text leave a - dash/negative on next line to make it bigger and bolder.

Not that I’ve found yet. Also looking for alignment / color options typically they use the brackets surround text but nothing so far… oh the big highlight seems to be a link.

Interesting # before lines Highlights it even more with multiple hashtags making it smaller nice find almost seems to be hijacking the # link to thread mechanism.

Test1 (Max)

Test2

Test6 (Min)

Test#

Test =

Test -

Clumsily typed in an equals on empty line after text too also appears to give text max size.

Thanks, appears I can edit the box as poster by clicking it instead of editing post but not others, no spaces to make the box…may figure some use for it.

Quoting, select someone’s text and click quote that easy…

It’s basic HTML formatting, not a big deal.

It used to have a better interface and results but yeah some basic programming tricks… doesn’t seem to work very well anymore, but more features and care than the average forum…
