Adding italics to The AnswerBank

[AB Editor]

You can now make lines of text italic on The AnswerBank.

Great for:

1. Emphasis
2. Quoting other users

It's dead easy.

Just add [ i ] without the spaces to both ends of the text you wish to italicise.

A bit like this:

[ChuckFickens]

The one on the right of the space bar.

[Mick-Talbot]

[Mick-Talbot]

[vivandorron]

What function does Alt Gr perform

Ron.

ALT GR is what you say when ALT doesn't work

[Frank97]

Sorry Mick, it looked like that was what you had to do in the link.

[ChuckFickens]

What function does Alt Gr perform

The same as pressing CTRL and ALT, it allows you to access 3rd level letters and symbols such as úéáíó€ (it does more on other languages keyboards)

[vivandorron]

Thanks Chuck for having explained the function of Alt Gr.

Henceforth, I shall be using the facility in the AnswerBank to exchange £s into €s. :-)

It's a great idea of being able to put words and phrases in italics, but it's not straightforward when one has to type...Bracket...letter i..bracket.

It makes me think of a song in my youth which taught one how to spell...Mississippi.:-

m..i..crooked letter, crooked letter , i, crooked letter, crooked letter, i humpback, humpback, i, is Mississippi..

Ron...

A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an
animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following ,...... "Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time."

"You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country.... we don't speak aloud in pubic places about our sex
lives.........

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin' abouta sexa? I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spella 'Mississippi'."

[vivandorron]

Well done jno. :-) :-) :-)
