How To ~ Do Multiple Modifications...
Sammi & Ebberbuddie ~
Here's the steps *I* use to do multiple modifications of text:
1) From the Left Column ~ Select [x]Enhanced Mode under the vB Code Header
2) Then, to the Right in the "Controls" Box ~ select ALL the features you want to modify the text with - Click em off one right after the other. As each is selected, it's opening bracketed code will appear where the cursor is in your text.
The "Line Up" of opening codes can look something like this...
[ B][ I][ U][ SIZE=6][ FONT=century gothic][ COLOR=firebrick]THEN YOU TYPE YOUR TEXT...
Now to CLOSE or end the modifiers - sometimes this gets *tricky*!
TRY using the "Close ALL Tags [X] Clicker at the Far Right of the modifier code box - if it works correctly - it will lay down all the closing codes in brackets in reverse order to how you first activated them... Like this:
your text[ /COLOR][ /FONT][ /SIZE][ /U][ /I][ /B]
Now IF the 'close all tags' clicker does NOT work (nuffin happens!) - you'll need to manually insert the closing codes yourself:
Do it in the REVERSE ORDER that you started the modifiers in = First turned ON is the LAST turned OFF... Bold was first on & Color was last on; so Color is first off & bold is last off.
Then hit the "Preview Reply" clicker to "see" what you've done (or screwed up :mad: ) so that you can correct any :eek: *goofs* :rolleyes:.
You can edit and preview forever till you're happy with the results.
Example: (NOTE! Extra SPACE has been inserted after each forward bracket [ to prevent the system from acting on the codes and let you see them!!
[ B][ I][ U][ SIZE=6][ FONT=century gothic][ COLOR=firebrick]Test Text[ /COLOR][ /FONT][ /SIZE][ /U][ /I][ /B]
Will display like this:
TestText
Thats = to Bold, Italic, Underlined, Size = 6(bigger than 'Huge'), Font = century gothic, and Color = firebrick.
Best advice is to EXPERIMENT and Preview before you hit the "submit Reply box! Have Phunn!
Oh yeah ~ Final CAUTION:
WATCH where the cursor is after each code is selected - the BBS software has the BAD :mad: habit of returning the Cursor to the TOP of the message block every time you select a feature - YOU have to remember to scroll it back down to where you were OR you'll start to overwrite your stuff at the top! Grrrrrr... :mad:!
