Posted by Fleet Captain Balian Ibn Barazan (Captain) in OOC: Discussion post formatting
All hands,

Now that we have new options for our posts, I was considering a few ideas from a post coding stand point. I want to foster a discussion on what this can mean to a post. We have the option of posting as always where

‘whew what a day’ is a thought

“Whew wat a day” is speech

or we have options now like

“whew what a day” whew what a day

“whew what a day” whew what a day

Or even colors in posting. What I would like to do is discuss and create a standard way we want to do this on the Manny, to make it easier for everyone to understand a post in which ever format we settle on.

Hmmm, using this for a ‘thought’, is awfully close to “speech” ones and tends to get confused. I usually just find doing it in this format helps.
eg. Hmm, this is a puzzle, Sheriye thought silently to herself. Hence, I tend to not use anything other then regular grammar for thoughts.
Now, if I am telepathic I usually use ** for those. Like this, eg. Stovik sent out his message on the mental plain, I am here. Most people don’t seem to get this way confused:) Just my thoughts.
I like the idea of being able to use italics though. So to use those tags in posts what do we do? I know the usual tags in HTML. Do we just use those?
