How to Make to Text Bold or Italic in Reviews

Post by Scott »

The Review Team Guidelines require putting book titles in italic print and putting the rating in bold print.

-----

To make text bold, you have to use the following code:

Code: Select all

Regular text. [b]Text you want bold.[/b] Regular text.
The above will display as follows:
Regular text. Text you want bold. Regular text.


-----

Similarly, to make text italic, you use the following code:

Code: Select all

Regular text. [i]Text you want italic.[/i] Regular text.
The above will display as follows:
Regular text. Text you want italic. Regular text.
----

For more info about the codes, read here: wiki-how


If you are having trouble making text display as bold or italic, please reply to this topic explaining your problem and include following example sentence: "Regular text. Bold text. Regular text." Try to make the words "bold text" bold. This way I can see exactly what you are doing and why it is not working for you.


* For now, you need to type it in manually for reviews. Please note that the text will not appear bold or in italics until you hit the preview button. Also, if there's anything wrong with the end code (not there, missing character, whatever) it won't close and will result in the rest of the text being italicized (or bolded, underlined, etc.).

I'm really getting confused over how to bolden or make my text italic. Do I press any of the buttons above. That is, the 'B' or 'I' buttons?

Hi, I've tried reading and re-reading it several times and I still don't get it. What code are u talking about and how do I input it? Sorry if the answer is obvious. I'm just not getting it

Okay, I think I get it now. Sth like this will appear right? Meaning that the text will not show that it's bold but rather will just display the code. Am I right?
