Is there already a thread about how we can bold whole phrases now, and don't have to star each individual word?

No word of a lie, we can bold entire phrases now.

We don't have to arse about starring every word (and accidentally missing one and messing it up)

Have I missed this? Is it old news?

yes there needs to be some way of using a double asterisk that doesn't bold the whole post.

Maybe it could be [* to open a bold phrase and the opposite to close?

That should read like a space used to, because, of course, it doesn't anymore....

So is there actually any way now of putting two asterisks into the same post? You might need to fix this before the middle of August when the exam results come out, or people won't be able to boast report their children's results properly!

It's causing havoc in the Education section, though, where people keep talking about A* grades - especially as putting a return in doesn't seem to break the phrase like a space does.

that was fun!

I am suspicious that this coincides with the mumsnet app being shortly released, the tech boys have been bribed to do this too, methinks

Woo hoo!

toccatanfudge · 02/07/2010 19:50

FH just put the start at the start of what you want to bold and then another star at the end of the entire section you want bolding and hey presto

Ineedmorechocolatenow · 02/07/2010 19:50

What about underlining things?
