So tired... So very very tired...

But I have washed all my dishes, patted my cat, brought in my bins, paid my bills, and finished an insanely well-researched fic for still_grrr. I am very accomplished.

Bed...

Okay. The formatting.
I'll show you some examples, but I'm going to use the wrong brackets, because if I do it properly they'll just format things rather than being visible. So, what you need to do is use the stuff I'm typing here, but instead of SQUARE brackets, you need to use DIAGONAL brackets. (Those being the ones on the comma and full-stop keys.)

To use italics, you write:
[i]words you want italicised[/i]

For bold:
[b]more words[/b]

For underlining:
[u]yet more words[/u]

For strikethrough text:
[strike]wordage[/strike]

For tiny fonts:
[small]words![/small]

For linkage:
[a href="http://www.website.com"]words again...[/a]

...hopefully that makes sense (and shows properly).

I had to learn it through trial and error, mostly by seeing what happened when people did it wrong.

Hmmm.
So that would be: italics, bold, underline, strikethrough, teeny, and a linky one that I'm certainly not sophisticated enough to try yet.

COOL.
What if I want to say something REALLY EXCITING? Or really secret?
Or possibly like THIS and this?

Hmmm. Can't tell whether that second one worked or not although part of it did...
