in reply to Formatting commands?

besides the need help? link that dws recommended I suggest you check out the Perl monks site FAQ and site how to guide. The answers to your questions are there.

Just in case the information is missing or hard to get to.

How do you strikeout text?
Use the tag <strike>
How do you underline text? Just kidding.
Use the tag <u>
How do you insert literal [ brackets in ordinary text?
Use &#91; and &#93;
How do you indent a set of lines, or one line?
I use blockquote. Though there was some recent dialogue on the CB about this - you should be safe if what you are indenting is text, not code. To indent code, use leading spaces in the code.
How do you insert em or en spaces in a line?
&nbsp; works

    I missed that discussion. Why is doing it with code a bad thing? (I wonder how many of my nodes violate that.)
