@ThanosReXXX Yeah, an asterisk in front and behind the text you want in bold; no spaces. So like this: #this text is bold#, but with an asterisk instead of a number sign.

Can't do italic and underlined with a shortcut I'm afraid.

Use _ for italic

text

@Octane Okay, good to know.
@Delibheel Aha, and underlined?

Not sure about that one.

I know the tags DEL add a line across the text

Let's try some experiments

Text *
text _
-text- -
+Text+ +
/Text/ /
@text@ @
$text$ $
&Text& &
°text° °
%text% %
~text~ ~

Nope, those don't work.

This is fun

The tag SUB makes the text smaller and it goes down a bit.

Like _this

@Delibheel "sup" is also a thing; subscript and superscript.

Weird that underscore does italics and not underlined text.

_you ^can _do ^annoying _text ^like _this

Add a few bright colours and it's starting to look like a 90's homepage.

Don't forget the Comic Sans and the animated, unmatched backgrounds.

I knew about _sub but not ^sup. And here I thought I had most of the site tags and shortcuts down. XD

If you want classic 90's we need to add scrolling marquees and funny gifs.

And don't forget the "under construction" image to let others know our page is unfinished.

@Delibheel And what about spoilers? Do we also have a new code for that?

It all kinda makes me think of WhatsApp, by the way. That also uses some of the same codes for text manipulation.

I have fallen asleep 😴 while playing my Pokemon X and founded my New 3DS XL completely turned off when i woke up at 1 am. 😨
That was so embarassing.... 😩

@ThanosReXXX It's just the same old SPOILER tag.

@Delibheel So, still with brackets, then? (if so, then you can actually write it without caps lock)
Kinda weird if that's the case, though, because then NLife only replaced parts of the codes for text manipulation.

@ReaderRagfihs I'll do you one better (and you even forgot to correct a word):

I fell asleep while playing Pokémon X and found my New 3DS XL's battery completely dead when I woke up at 1am.

That was so embarrassing.

While we're at it, let's also put a ban on all those annoying, hardly distinguishable micro-smileys.
Let's all just use full-sized smileys.

Makes it so much easier for everyone with a normal size monitor...

And yes, @Anti-Matter, embarrassing is with two R's, not with one R...

By the way: you fall asleep a LOT. I've seen you mention it dozens of times in this thread, over the years.
Which either means you're weak, possibly suffer from some kind of syndrome, or simply don't sleep enough when you're supposed to, and when that's the case, the body simply takes over, and it more or less forces you to fall asleep.

Good thing you were at home, and didn't fall asleep while in traffic or something worse...

Code tags are usually written in all caps to make it more clear

@Delibheel Hm, odd. I never type them in caps, and they've always worked.
And for who should they be more clear? Seeing as they're always invisible in the final result when your text is posted...

For the person reading the tutorial of course.

Or did you think I was trying to use actual real tags...?

@Delibheel No, I didn't. I just write the words or letters to use like this: 'spoiler' to emphasize that they should be using that specific word to make the effect work.

Nah I'm good. It's not like I plan to write down any more tags right now.
