Text Formatting Guide
There are a number of special formatting 'tags' that you can use to improve the appearance of your Bulletin Board text. These tags are part of the same HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) that we've used to create this web site. You can use just about any part of HTML in your text but we're just going to highlight some of the more frequently used tags. If you would like to learn more about HTML visit a HTML Tutorial web site which gives a complete description of HTML.

You can format your text in different ways: bold and italicized, larger or smaller. You can even color it! You can even combine tags. A tag is usually used in pairs. This means you have an opening tag and a closing tag. The first marks the beginning of the bold formatting and the second marks the end of the bold formatting. Notice the closing tag includes a '/'.

Some useful tag pairings:
