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

[YunoYurbubson]

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?

will this work?

overload

i like it

You're a childish lot!

Need t be able to do full sentence strike outs before im impressed.

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

that was fun!

this is so exciting........(I think I need to get out more) [slinking off emoction]

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 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!

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?

can we?

does it work for italics?

is it like this and like this?

coooooooooooooooooooool

bet this doesn't work

what were you trying to do 2shoes??

it worked lol
I love it, but we now need it for strike throughs

testing to see
if a return stops the bolding

Well, it does in preview.

So you will be OK if you list each A* your DCs get on a separate line...
