That the format? Because I just was shown the page for the format today, and I have tried bold , etc, on this site before and it never worked? So have you always been using that code? Is it any different for signatures?
Because you can use this
italics -Minus those spaces...
Never tried italics before on here.
I've always done italics as <i>
but <em> seems to work here and I just noticed in dreamweaver it does italics as em not i, but frontpage does italics as i and kompozer uses a style for italics.
Anyone know what the difference is and why one works here and not the other?
Thanks for the tip on em

Haha, yea, I just firgured out the different format today as well. I'm also wondering why it isn't the basic ...for bold ... for underline and... for italics...
...Here it is:
The reason <em> is used instead of <i> and the reason <strong> is used instead of <b> is because it makes the web more accessible.
Think about a screen reader for the blind. It can't communicate that something is bold, but it can give it <em>phasis or <strong> emphasis.

Interesting how an automatic reader for the blind can translate the character string but not the string . Limitation of the device or the programmer?

<em> is what you should be using for emphasis. <i> is a deprecated tag by the latest HTML and XHTML specs and shouldn't be used anymore. Same deal with <strong> instead of <b>
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
It's just more correct.
The <i> tag is pretty weird, because it's not a content thing it's a styling tag. The <em> tag can be styled with italics plus with CSS you can add how it supposed to sound.
Plus, the W3 said you have to use it, so you have to
