You start these tags by pressing the ` key which is located below the escape key and above the tab key on your keyboard. Here are the tags: `br = line break `li = bullet point `hr = horizontal line across the page (don't use more than one of these in a post) `sp = a space You can center text by: [center]centered text[/center] You can also use these three tags to format text: [i]Italics[/i] [u]Underline[/u] [b]Bold[/b] You can nest these three tags, like [i][b]this[/b][/i], but keep everything else (like the color codes) outside them. You can also use links on the messages board by: [http://www.web-docent.com]www.web-docent.com[/] Please Note: the link inside the [] must contain http:// otherwise the link will not load probably.
