How do you do Bold, italics, for submit?

either something changed, or I totally forgot

So, for those who aren't in the know, here's the HTML to format your poetry for Laurel (to make sure it's done right)


Spaces:

To add spaces where there otherwise would be none, you have to use the no backspace code. & nbsp, without the space between & and n. It looks like this: &nbsp <-- if you can't see it (you can't) click Quote and scroll down. That prevents the browser from automatically removing extra spaces.

Italics:

Similar to vB code, yet HTMLish all the same! <I>whatever you want italicized</I> <I> opens the italics and </I> closes it. Spacing for italics codes is just like normal spacing. Make sure there's a space in there! Don't do it like this: word<I>italicized words</I>word. Like this: word <I>italicized words</I>

Boldface:

Like italics, only with <B> and </B>

<b>bold text</b>

<i>italic text</i>

Edit in light of new post:

Just used italics in a submission a couple of days ago, as well as the special character code for an em dash —

thanks, I just checked it out. I have no idea why it failed earlier.
So I got bold, Italics. I wonder what else works

I do know that you aren't allowed to change font, you can't change fontsize, you can't add all of your own HTML code, basically, you can do italics, bold, and no-backspace.

I could have sworn I've seen other font, colours, etc.

push comes to shove, you can submit it as a Word document and instruct them not to change font, format etc. It takes a little longer to come up but its less of a pain in the butt.

heh, heh, I did that once, I don't want to put them though that again.
and they didn't quite get it right
I remember I had this question and Lauren had posted something... I/m trying to find it

The only other allowed tags that I know of are <u> <center> and <blockquote>

There used to be a bug with <blockquote> that would change the font size and face when it was utilized. You might have seen that when it was happening, and some may have even taken advantage of the bug to purposely display things in a larger font.

The bug has since been fixed.

oh, thank you. I haven't seen it in a while.
Gah from Lauren Hynde cicra 1957
There used to be possible, and Senna has a number of poems with fixed width fonts, but not anymore. It screws up the submission form, apparently.

The only HTML tags that are safe to use are
<i> </i>
<b> </i>
<u> </u>
<center> </center>
 

that's it ?
