You see how part of the text on my post above is indented? At the end, I'm giving the instructions on how to achieve indenting text on your own post.
Perhaps in posting you've never used any of the available codes to modify your text such as bold, italics, underline, color, etc. These are all available by using the buttons above your posting entry box when you make a new post. The codes provided for achieving this are slightly different than html codes so someone can't inadvertently enter wrong html and potentially cause a problem with the forum.
One can use the buttons to enter the codes or once your learn the codes, just type them directly. The reason I put spaces in the code when I wrote about the list command is because with the space, the code would not display in my narrative but simply take effect and make a list (indented text) out of the text that followed.
Examples of code (referred to as vBcode since this forum is by vBulletin) are:
[ b ] your text [ /b ] - bold
[ i ] your text [ /i ] - italic
[ u ] your text [ /u ] - underline
But, when you use these, you don't enter the spaces. If I left out the spaces, then the codes above would simply bold, italic or underline the text that followed and I wouldn't be able to communicate the codes to you.
Does it make sense now?
