A few font styles can now be used in forum posts and private messages, as described below.
To write text in bold type your text between [b] and [/b] markers. For italics use [i] and [/i]. For underline use [u] and [/u]. Combinations are also allowed, so for example, underlined bold is done entering [b][u]underlined bold[/u][/b].
If for any reason you need to type one of the above commands as text in your message, you will need to escape the opening and closing brackets. The opening bracket is escaped with #[# and the closing bracket is escaped with #]#, so for example [b] should be entered as #[#b#]#.
