all you need

All you need is "i" for itallics - some like em curvy and you already know "b" for bold. italics and bold works well to quote someone when answering their questions or responding to something they said (but of course we only answer questions posed by people we respect, those who have shown themselves not worth our time need not have their "questions" acknowledged unless you want to use that as a jumping off spot to switch back to whatever it was that you want to talk about.) Then there is "u" for underline - an oft forgotten html tag Also "a" along with "href=" when you are linking to a website, plus you can use the same "a href=" to link to a BC post using just the messages #1651387 of a post where someone referred to message #1651331. Note how when you hover over the links the message number pops up. Now we can easily link to important posts. What else could you need?
