Uh, I mean…
<font face=“Wingdings” size=7>B
C</font> perfect
testing this out
<wanna see if this prints>
well, well, well…just found out that placing text in the “<>” symbols doesn’t work…It just disapears
let’s see–
** This is not in bold **
- This should have italics *
But it probably doesn’t.
<strike> This is crossed out. </strike>
<p align=“center”> Is this centered? </p>
<marquee> This is not moving. </marquee>
<marquee behavior=“alternate”> Or bouncing </marquee>

One error in the whole damn thing and it’s the one that makes me look arrogant. I meant:
[sarc] I am confident in my HTML skills. [/sarc]

PS Did this quote?
Jewel said it, and I share the sentiment.
I keeep posting, but this is fun, and besides, this thread must stay at the top for my fellow clueless newbies.
What does nesting the HTML do?
- ** Italics and bold? ** *
I’m going to try to make a separate web page with the tutoral on it.

Thought I’d bring this topic to the top while checking to see if my sig is right.
I was educated long after the discontinuation of flogging, and I have no problems with spelling or grammar.
This is because I’m not a moron.

Hmm, what did I do wrong?
HTML doesn’t work in the signature, only UBB code.

Hey, it worked! Louie, youdaman!!
Some of the cool things I can now do:
[ol][li]<strike>Struck out words.</strike>[/li][li]<marquee><font color=“green”>Scrolling text! In color, no less!</font></marquee>[/li][li]<marquee behavior=“alternate”> 
Bouncin’ text! Smileys too! ;)</marquee>[/li][li]<font face=“Bernard MT Condensed”><font size=6>Big, cool alternative typefaces!</font>[/ol][/li]
Gee, I sure hoped all that worked. If it didn’t, boy will my face be red! :o

All right. I can accept that I can’t put smileys on a marquee. I can also accept that you must enter the “/font” command once for every font change I apply. But what I <font color=“red”>can’t</font> accept is the ineffectiveness of my attempts at making an ordered list. I followed all the directions in the UBB tutoral, so what’s going on. ( And yes, I did try it before without the quotes. I got the same results. )
And while I’m at it, why can’t you alter type in a marquee?
