I must be stupid

[chrissa1]

I can't work out how to write in italics or bold in my questions or answers. I've read the section, but when I put in etc, nothing happens.

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Cheers.

Chrissa- to close off the italics you need to put /i not i/ in side the <>

If we all report the question the AB Ed may remove it and everything will be all right again on How it Works

Right. Now I must learn how to do those musical notes and aeroplanes etc. I saw the link yesterday and have tried them to no avail.

Alt + those numbers, but can't get them to work.

Can these things go anywhere or does it have to be on here or Facebook etc? I can't get it to work anyway.
