How to use bold/italics etc on mobile device

[ZachO]

? I can select and highlight text, but then my phone will only let me do operations it wants, like cut/copy/paste etc, not any of the text options on the forum.

Any advice? I have an iPhone.

You can use tags to do that Zach. Not all tags are supported however, mainly basic ones.

For example, you place a bracketed tag and then your text, followed by the bracketed tag with a slash that turns off the feature. You'd type the following, but without the spaces between characters:

[ B ] text you want in bold goes here [ / B ].

Here's the same as above, with no spaces between the brackets and the B characters, so the tags actually function:

text you want in bold goes here

You can do the same with italics. Just replace the B inside the brackets with an I:

Several other tags are supported. Do a little google searching and you'll find quite a list. However, as I mentioned, not all of them work on forums.

Ah, good call Robert. So rather than trying to highlight and use the forum buttons, just use the code instead.

That works. Thanks!
