				|  Posted: Thu May 11, 2006 6:36 am    Post subject: Can you BOLD within CODE? |   |  
				| 
 |  
				| Here is an example.  The bold tags are typed by hand: 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +--------------+
 |  -   -    x  |
 | 46   -   [b]246[/b] |
 |  -   -    x  |
 +--------------+
 | 46   -   469 |
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -   29  |
 +--------------+
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -    x  |
 +--------------+
 
 | 
 
 Why does this not work?  Try again.  The bold tags are generated by highlighting the text, then clicking the B button:
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +--------------+
 |  -   -    x  |
 | 46   -   [b]246[/b] |
 |  -   -    x  |
 +--------------+
 | 46   -   469 |
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -   29  |
 +--------------+
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -    x  |
 +--------------+
 
 | 
 
 I guess I don't get it.  The phBB Help says:
 
 
  	  | Quote: |  	  | All formatting used within  tags is retained when you later view it. 
 | 
 
 Really?
 
 One more try:
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +--------------+
 |  -   -    x  |
 | 46   -   [b="246"][/b] |
 |  -   -    x  |
 +--------------+
 | 46   -   469 |
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -   29  |
 +--------------+
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -    x  |
 +--------------+
 
 | 
 
 and one more:
 
 +--------------+
 |  -   -    x  |
 | 46   -   246 |
 |  -   -    x  |
 +--------------+
 | 46   -   469 |
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -   29  |
 +--------------+
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -    x  |
 |  -   -    x  |
 +--------------+
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +--------------+
 | - - x |
 | 46 - 246 |
 | - - x |
 +--------------+
 | 46 - 469 |
 | - - x |
 | - - 29 |
 +--------------+
 | - - x |
 | - - x |
 | - - x |
 +--------------+

				| Keith, 
 I've tried, with no success, using different colors within the code tags (to make colouring chains easier to follow) and thought I was somehow doing something wrong.  Coupled with your experience, it seems either we are both doing something wrong or it's just not possible.

				| Tracy, 
 I agree.
 
 But, I swear I saw a post which had bold within code.

				| Actually, I now think I saw the following: 
 A section enclosed by Quote looks a lot like a section enclosed by Code.
 
 But, if you have a
 
  	  | Quote: |  	  | you can have bold within it.
 
 | 
 
 I now believe that anything you put in a Code section comes out exactly as you put it in.

				| 
 |  
				| Would you please explain to a beginner how to put a grid into a message. I do not understand the use of the "boxes" e.g. quote, list, etc.
 Is there an explanation available for this format.
 
 Thanks
 
 Earl
