There's a lot of functions that can be used - some unique to our sites. Lets look at a few of them and their possible uses.
Always experiment, but be careful not to get lost in complex posts that can't be read!
BOLD
Obvious, can look messy, but useful.
Italics
Can be used for
Emphasiswhen something is really, really
important!
Underline

CAN be a good way of highlighting something in dialogue.

See what I mean about some of them being hard to read?
Out of Character Comments:
Out of Character Comments is a unique feature designed for our sites. You can use this to convey OOC comments a specific way, to highlight them but without making them part of the post.
The command to make them work is OOC in square brackets. There's an OOC button on every full-reply posting window and soon available in quick-reply. Its on the right beside the Spoiler.
