Because you all in the Lounge are so smart...

would somebody tell me how to make my font size smaller when I'm posting here, like if I want to say something really, really quietly? The thing in HTML lookup table doesn't make sense to me because I'm a word processor not an internet geek.

1. Gotta use BB Code

Type this before the text you want to make smaller:

font size="1"

...with brackets on either side. (Not parentheses — the square ones.)

That'll make your text look like this.

At the end of the small text, type this:

/font

...also within brackets.

11. I'm just guessing, but

I'd imagine in DU 3.0 it'll be highlight-and-click.

I'd hope, anyway.

2. You left out good-looking, but I'll help you out anyway

You want to use the HTML "FONT" tag. Use the following code, but replace the parenthesis with the square brackets (the two keys to the right of the "P" key).

(font size="2")text goes here(/font)

font sizes run from 1-7, with one being the smallest.

Hope this works

6. That's when you don't have anything to add

but you want to bump something back up to the top of the page.

7. Some kind soul posted a "DU-matic codifier"

Here: http://www.iterapi.com/dccode.html

That makes it a bit easier. H1, H2 and H3 are the font sizes.
