Formatting Posts
Everyone,
As I am sure that everyone has noticed recently, when you try to format text, using the common -a style- tags or the -p style- tags, the text appears to be a link (ie - it's underlined).
I am not sure why this has suddenly started happening, but I have contacted Christopher, and he has graciously gave an alternative to this style of formatting, and it should let us still format text, and avoid the underline effect.
Typing
allows us to format the text to verdana, green (You have to put the code inside ...
or....
Simply typing
font size="5" color=blue (again, inside )
allows us to increase the font size and change the color.
Anyway, it seems to work pretty well.
Oh yeah, don't forget to always close your code with the code /font (of course, inside )

¡Buena suerte!

Here is blue text in a paragraph tag with a sprinkle of RED included through the use of a span tag.
testing 7/15/2017 - a different way:
maybe it works without the underline!
OK so this works, but here l actually used a background in white so it appears like a normal written text! 
in all the fonts and colors!
and you can even include a background color

The code for the above is...
< a>Huh? Let me test it, too.< /a>
(Except for the spaces between the < and the "a" and such.)

Yes, Chris, I have noticed that! I don't mind, though it would be nice to learn another way.
God, I wish I understood any of the things that have been said here. I guess HTML is not my thing.
The reason this happens with the a-style tags is the < a > tags are used for links and the website has styled all links to appear as blue text that underline on hover. Therefore, you must override this default behavior by specifying that it NOT underline (text-decoration:none) and you must set the color to whatever color you want with color:{color name}.
Any of the color names found at this wiki article may be used.
These codes (CSS properties, really) must be put within the style attribute as shown in my other post.
Actually, it may not work....when I was typing it, it all seemed perfect, after I posted, it deleted everything inside the < signs... :(
I will IM Chris again, and see if he can look into it...
Sorry everyone...
a test!
oh well it doesn't work for me ... l must be doing something wrong!

Huh? Let me test it, too. HOw did you get it not to show as red hmmmm, misterios de la vida
This changing the way text displays is nice for making small links (like the ones under your avatar) more legible, but now I find it harder to recognize links from formatted text. There should be a way to discriminate between link labels and other html formatted text when applying mouseover properties.
