LOL! It took me a while to figure it out as well...my 13-yo son told me how.
You user HTML codes surrounded by angle brackets (< and >)
You put a "beginning" code where you want the format (Underline, etc.) to start and an "ending" code where you want it to end. The "ending code is the same as the beginning code except you precede it by a slash (/)
Some Codes are:
Bold: strong
Underline: u
Italic: i
Superscript: sup
The following are included in the "font" code:
Color: color = "name of the color, e.g., red, blue, etc.
Font: face = "name of the font e.g., arial"
Size: size = "how much smaller/bigger than normal e.g, -1, +2"
Some examples. Note: take out the space between the bracket and the code. I had to put them in so it would show up instead of using the code!
< strong>Bold< /strong>....gives you...Bold
< u>Underline< /u>....gives you...Underline
< i>Italic< /i>....gives you...Italic
< font color = "blue">Blue< /font>....gives you...Blue
< font face = "arial">Arial< /font>....gives you...Arial
< font size = "+2">Larger< /font>....gives you...Larger
< font color = "red" face = "arial">Arial in red< /font>....gives you...Arial in red
I hope this isn't too "tech-y".....
