    Introduction
    In the thread Beginners Guide to Posting on MAP, I told the basic ways of posting. This article will go into the advanced options and formatting that you can do to “mark-up” posts.

    The Post Toolbar
    In the New Thread and New Reply screens, you may have noticed a tool-bar like this: [​IMG]
    This is the easiest way of formatting text in your posts. You will recognise many of the tools from common word-processors. Below is a list of the tools, and what they do:
    [​IMG] clicking the small arrow lets you choose which font you want to use for the post.
    [​IMG] by clicking the small arrow, you can choose the text size, with 1 being the smallest and 7 being the biggest.
    [​IMG] you can choose the text colour by clicking the small arrow.
    [​IMG] this button allows you to make text bold.
    [​IMG] this button allows you to make your text italic.

    [​IMG] clicking this button allows you to left-align your text.
