If you want to add a bit of format to your messages, here's what to do:
(1) To bold a portion of text, enclose it with the symbols <b> and </b>. For example, writing
Welcome to <b>HKSU message board.</b>
will give
Welcome to the HKSU message board.
(2) To italicize a portion of text, enclose it with the symbols <i> and </i>. For example, writing
<i>HKSU message</i> board.
will give
HKSU message board.
(3) To set the font of a portion of text, enclose it between <font face="Font name"> and </font>. For example,
<font face="Arial">Come to our BBQ trip.</font>
gives
Come to our BBQ trip.
(4) To add colors to text, enclose the text with <font color=COLORNAME> and <font>. COLORNAME can be RED, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, CYAN, MAGENTA, BROWN, BLACK, WHITE, BLACK, ORANGE, etc.
For example,
results in (5) To set the font size, use <font size=X> and </font>, where a negative X makes the font smaller and a positive X makes the font larger (usually X is an integer between -2 and 4). For example,
<font color=RED>My name </font><font color=ORANGE>is </font><font color=BLUE> KAI.</font>
</font>
My name is KAI.
<font size=+2>The font becomes larger by 2 sizes.</font>
results in
The font becomes larger by 2 sizes.
