FUZFO... BTW could you tell me how you get the italics

The only HTML (HyperText Markup Language) that SI permits in a post are bold and italic. Surround your text with <i> ... </i&gt or <b> ... </b&gt to get italics or bold.

(When you want to represent the html like I did above, you can't TYPE the "<" "i" ">" because it would cause italics, so there are special symbols to create the "<" and ">": "&amp;lt;" and "&amp;gt;". (BTW, I had to type "&amp;amp;" to get the "&" in the prior example and this one!)

When you want to create a link to somewhere, you put:
http://xxxxxxx (the link address).

SI allows a shorthand version of several links: #chart-asnd, for example.

FUZFO,

In case nobody has gotten back to you,

1. To start italics it's < i >

2. To end italics, it's < /i >

3. To start bold, it's < b >

4. To end bold, it's < /b >

(but leave out the spaces between the < and >)
