Here are some of the short cut codes when you are writing your notes or trip reports off line to be copied onto the bulletin board. If you put the code in your original document then it will copy correctly and automatically display the coding your are interested in. In the samples below change the { } for brackets -- meaning the opening bracket of [ and the closing bracket of ] . Also the coding for bold, italics, etc are lower case and do NOT work. I have also put in an extra space between the coding and the text to make it easier to read. That is not normally needed.

Hopefully this will help when you are composing your trip report or note offline.

Bold Text {b} Text that you want bolded {/b} would equal BOLD

Italics {i} Text that you want in Italics {/i} would equal ITALICS

Quoting {quote} Text that you want to quote {/quote}

Some of the many smilies are:

Thumbsup {thumbsup} would equal <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Thumbsdown {thumbsdown} would equal <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif" alt="" />

Grin {grin} would equal <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

To see what the coding is for the other smilies, just hover your mouse button over the smiley that you are interested in to make your own list.
