| You can use a number of simple formatting codes to get more than plain text in forums: - You can use unicode HTML character entities such as ≤ or ≤ (both of which show as ≤). See http://theorem.ca/~mvcorks/code/charsets/auto.html for a list of these. - An _ followed by a space is just a _, but if followed by anything else it uses the following text up to the next space as subscript. So writing a_17 shows as a17 and so on. In a similar way, ^ generates superscripts such as 2^16 giving 216 . - You can change text style using ~. ~b starts bold text, ~i starts italic text and ~c starts code text. A single ~ closes the formatting, so to get this you have to write ~bthis~. You can write a ~ by using two adjacent ~, i.e., ~~. The ~ codes can span several words or lines (unlike superscripts and subscripts). |

| You can get bold italic by combining ~b and ~i codes. Note that you must close with two ~ separated by space, i.e., ~b~ibold italic~ ~. |

| You can now use links to web page in postings. Any string that starts with "http://" and after that uses only letters, digits or the symbols . / - ~ _ or + is treated as a link and shown as such. |
