1. The text to be modified is typically placed in a container, which means a beginning of the desired effect on th eleft, and an end on the right. So if you were trying to bold the text, it wold go:

[b]the text[/b]

The b starts the bolding and the "/b" ends it. If you use angle brackets < and >, only!!

What you would get is the text.

The commands vanish and the text shows the effect.

For a font color you would make a container defining the color like this:

[font color=red]the text[/font]



which if you used angle brackets would look like this:


the text

Does that make sense? You can then put one container inside another to double up on effects:

[b][font color=red]the text[/font][/b]

would produce (using angle brackets):

the text.

See? Adding a third container to make it italic woud look like this:

[i][b][font color=red]the text[/font][/b][/i]

which produces (using angle brackets):

the text.
