Hi - you also may want to look at our Mudcat HTML guide (click). Just above the list of threads in the Forum Menu, you'll find a dropdown menu that leads you to the FAQ and the Mudcat Site Map and PermaThread Index. That site map will lead to lots of interesting places.
Welcome to Mudcat!

You have to write special commands into pointed brackets <>, and to end your command with a slash. These commands in pointed brackets are called tags.
b - /b in brackets: all in between is printed bold
i - /i in brackets: all in between is printed in italics
font size=+1 - /font in brackets: all in between is printed bigger.
e.g. < b > bold < / b > [I have to write it with spaces to show how the tag works, omit the spaces]:
bold
italics
font size=+1
After the end tag /font in brackets you revert to the original size.
font size=+2
font size=-1
Have a look at the FAQ section for basic Mudcat HTML.

also line breaks are now automatic - so you don't have to do them in code.

All described in brief and at length in the FAQ, located in the drop-down box above the thread list. Should be pretty current except that link-making can now be done semi-automatically with the "Make a link" feature located below the compose-post box.

How do you guys do bolds, italics, font sizes, and the like in your Mudcat postings? Thanks for your help.
