It truly is quite simple. Looking at the above example, I simply copied your text and placed it between html markers as follows (substitute the less than and greater than symbols for the braces) (i) text (/i), followed by (p) for new paragraph. It's that simple. Want to bold text, use (b) text (/b) ... done! Since this is a live thread, I cannot demonstrate with the less than and greater than symbol and have substituted the braces. You can practice all of these techniques in the HTML sandbox without it impacting a live thread.
I did it!
Gonna go play in the Sandbox! Thank you!
