Yeah, the editing format for top-level posts isn't the same as for comments :P A bit silly ...
I haven't been able to find a helpful "help" button there. Would you happen to know where the markup help is?
Apparently it doesn't use markup, you can directly edit links and the like with the tools at the top of the edit bar. There's also a button to edit the raw html.
Now I'll have to learn HTML (panics). Being a transfer student from the TV Tropes fora, which was my first forum ever, I might have overestimated myself and tried to run before I could walk...
My HTML is a bit rusty, but I believe the tag you want is:
<a href="url goes here">Text goes here</a>
That should do for a quick fix.
Thank you!
You don't need all of html. I get by with about half a dozen tags.
<i>text</i> italics
<b>text</b> bold
<a href="url">text</a>
<blockquote>text</blockquote> blockquote helpfully adds blank lines before and after the quoted block, so that it's harder to read your html because you have to leave the blank lines out
<strike>text</strike> puts a line through your text-- I don't use istrike much, but it's handy for being a wiseass
You don't need to use html; all the formatting options you need are at the top of the edit window.
They didn't seem to work, like they were turned off or something. Thanks all the same.
In order to enable the link button, select some text.
Please don't ask me why this is the way it works.
