Thank you MN Techs - bulk bold/italics are great!

I did check first to see whether anyone else had posted about this or not but it seems not, so -

THank you so much for allowing the bulk bolding and bulk italicising of words with just the use of the */^ at either end of the section, not around every word. It is FANTASTIC not to have to do every word, so much easier!

Now can you do it for the 'striking out' as well please?

But still, thanks for the others, that's brilliant.

Saltire · 05/07/2010 08:46

testing this to see if it works for me

You could get around the multiple A* grades problem by requiring two asteriks together on either side of the phrase, just as with strikeout.

Or is the double character a problem, and the reason why bulk strikeout hasn't been done?

It's when you put A* twice in a post - everything between the two asterisks becomes bold and you can't see the asterisks.

So what I've just written, if I hadn't replaced the * with 'asterisk', would become:

It's when you put Atwice in a post - everything between the two becomes bold and you can't see the *

Testing, testing: Fan bloody tastic!

fruitshootsandheaves · 04/07/2010 23:06

Brill!

PLEASE do bulk stiking out too

oh no, don't say that, RustyBear - we don't want MN to take it away again!

I suppose it is too complex to have the settings so that it works on spaces that are between words but not on spaces that precede words - it's an all or none scenario.

ooh, very clever Tech, not even any complicated sequences to remember.

You deserve a shiny gold 'I did very well' sticker.

Olihan · 04/07/2010 22:52

How do you do it then?

RustyBear · 04/07/2010 22:28

The bold thing is causing a few problems on the education threads though, where people are trying to talk about A* grades!
