Hello, Dopers! Let’s see if I can get vB code to work on the first try.
Bold type created with the handy li’l SDMB button.
Italics and an italics/bold combo.
[sup]Superscript[/sup] and [sub]subscript.[/sub]
What happens if I try putting a subscript in a superscript, like this: [sup]super [sub]sub[/sub][/sup]?
Here’s a list:
[ul]
[li]Milk[/li][li]Eggs[/li][li]Cherry-flavored lubricant[/li][li]Bread[/li][/ul]
Let’s try combining subscripts, superscripts, font sizes, and colors all at once (egad, if this works the first time, I’m treating myself to a drink).
[sup]O[/sup]OOOOOOO[sub]O[/sub]
Let’s try linking to a specific post. Here we have the words of the lovely Gaudere, in which she says:
An admirable admission (and hopefully I just used the quote function correctly).
Look! It’s some of those damn smilies! 
:rolleyes: Don’t worry, smilie-hating Dopers, I’ll use them sparingly.
Finally, let’s try typing some symbols. What language uses the ÿ character anyway? (Note: that was a rhetorical question! Please don’t move this thread to GQ! :p)Another smilie? I thought he said he would use them sparingly!
And if this were the Pit, I’d be compelled to add: ®µ¶ª¿!!
Now I’ll use Preview…
…And it’s a good thing I did. Forgot to close a tag.
Well there ya have it! My first post! Toldja it was boring, but did you listen? NoooOOOooo.
Cheers,
–Bill
