Need some help with the creation of MESSAGE TEXT

Could someone direct me to where I can find out how to use some of the features when using our forum's message creation (text)?

I understand how to use:

B
I
U
http
highlight
LI
Quote

I am not sure how to use:

hr
The ordered List
The unordered List
https

I would appreciate it if someone could direct me to the FAQs that deal with instructions on the use of these items. If there are no instructions per se then I would appreciate someone giving me an example of how to use the them.

Thanks. 🙂
 
HTML code is not permitted. Special symbols permit some HTML functionality

Click on the "symbols" link when you're posting/editing a message. That should help a bit.
Below are some custom tags we created for use with this forum. If you use the tags below you can achieve some basic HTML requirements.
Function Code

SECURE URL <S=mysecureurl>https://www.me.com</s>

LIST If you want to bullet list use:
  • List Item
  • List Item

If you want to numbered list use:
  1. List Item
  2. List Item

HORIZONTAL RULE (<hr>)
 
Ignore this ... just experimenting. 😉


  1. ABC
    DEF
    GHIJK
    LMNOP
  2. abc
  3. 12,567
  4. bcd
  5. EFGH
  6. JKLMONP
  • ABC
    DEF
    GHI
    JKL
[*]Once
[*]Twice
[*]Thrice
 
What would you do if you wanted to post something in (5) columns and the items in each column were of different lengths. How can you present that in a nice orderly fashion?



Example:

1 Joe Blow #459 2,345
2 Willy Wisp #7,345 345
 
Don't think that there's any sort of table function (or easy way to make an impromtu version manually) in fusetalk.

An extremely crude workaround would be to use a combination of abbreviation in the fields/columns to get them close to the same character width and periods or some other character to give things some space.

Yeah, that's what I've had to do in the past. I have never used the BULLET or the NUM feature before and was hoping that would offer a solution.

Thanks for your help, Hossenfeffer. 🙂
