I know I'm being fussy

[MilkNoSugarPlease]

But can we have the ability to make something bold AND italic or italic AND crossed out etc

test

Huh.

You want what? Bold and italic?

I dunno. We give you emphasis - and now you want double portions

We'll see what we can do

Yes bold and italic how else can I make a giant statement, without it!?

I ALWAYS want double portions of dessert

Please MissHelenMumsnet, could you be awfully kind and get BigTech on the job. ta awfully!

Hmm, will see what I can do - but no promises, mind...

test

Oh, I thought it worked

testing

Makes no difference whether you put or

Is it MissHelenMumsnet or MrsHelenMumsnet? Do you think they are all married to MN?

Thank you!
It is important, if your talking about chocolate for example

I Like Twirl
I Love Dairy milk
I LOVE milka
I LOVE Galaxy

But how do I announce my deep deep love for Peanut M&M's?!

Trill- I reckon they are

bold and italic

You put a space after the * and then put the ^
To close the line you put the ^ then a space then a *

crossed out italic

crossed out bold italic

underlined and bold

italic underlined and bold

Like this

Nick you genius!

But can we tell everyone I discovered this? Y'know all nannies together n that

this is going a bit far

That was Bold Underlined Italic Crossed Out!

• ^ and _ all work on a per line basis. -- works on a per word basis.

I'll let you play with that

I am LOVING This !

Testing this amazing new skill

heeeeee

And I invented it

Darn it, you found out how to do it MUCH too quickly - was looking forward to teasing you for DAYS.

And Trillian, we are ALL married to MN...

you KNEW (sorry, KNEW ) and you were going to TEASE me

I am shocked....shocked to my very core

Quite upset you havent replied...I have visions of ALL of you MNHQ'ers working constantly fuelled by only coffee and the desire to post

lol

I am now working the abilty to do this into every post

It may become tiresome soon!

Blimey Nick - you must have too much time on your hands

MNSP - no, MNHQers are probably un- able willing to answer too quickly in case we expect it all the time, and a bunch of quite sensible workaholics and have to have 6 hours away from a screen to sleep and another 12 hours to discuss funny threads
