Just having a play with big and small text
big and bold
Sometimes it won’t like mixing html (eg <big>) with Markdown (eg ** bold text **), but if it doesn’t display right you can use the html tags instead. 
<b> bold </b>
<i> italics </i>
<s> strikethrough </s>
Ah! I wondered why it was coming up in italics too. I just combined two different posts and hoped for tte best. Had no idea they were different types. Thanks 
Actually, you got bold and italics by using three asterisks as well as the <big> tags. (rather than one for italics, and two for bold)

Do you want to come and have a practice in the Sandbox? 
It’s just:
@discobot roll 2d6
(Don’t forget the ‘roll’, and it needs to be on a line by itself - and not in an edit. )

Hey great idea @Ian_Chimp to be able to test new things in one place!
Just seen that I can hide specific text I think that’s brilliant
And do a drop down widgety thing, gotta remember the words to do this though, will have to keep going back to discobots tutorial to do that
Testing [details=select me for details] here hoping I’ve done this right [/details]
^ what am I doing wrong?
It should look a little like this:
[details=“Visible Description”]
Secret Hidden Text
[/details]
And will then look like this:
Visible Description
Secret Hidden Text
show me
this right here
@Ian_Chimp it worked! Thank you

No worries. And there are a few extra formatting tricks in Bonus Formatting too.

I did a poll pander to me thread and after posting I realised I had selected pie by accident rather than bar. I did an edit and changed and not only does it mess up the formatting it doesn’t change the chart type.
I assume this is a forum limitation or have I just been darft?
You shouldn’t be able to edit a poll after 5 minutes (so you don’t go back in and change what people voted for )
The best thing to do if you don’t have many votes is to put a new one in, and then delete the old one.
Testing…
{Doubt this will work…}
Try bb code instead…

Okay

Interesting. Better but with a few issues.
Does this work?
Nope.
Not ideal but sufficiently workable I think

This one seems to work quite nicely
‮This one seems to work quite nicely
(you can also alternate line direction in a paragraph using the <br> tags and flipping between ‮ and ‭ )

Nice tip, upsets me though that lower case s’s, h’s, r’s, k’s, e’s, etc. don’t flip. It could at least have turned the “q” into a “p”! I ideally wanted numbers to work but they seem harder than most text.

I think it just orders the letters backwards. So some kind of mirror code instead? 
Mirror code is what I was trying to achieve above. Some letters work better than others though and numbers are generally useless. Found a minor work around for the quiz though so I was happy enough
Sorry, know the attemp at bb code reverse isn’t mirrored but the last two attempts were meant to be.
