Revision (coding) query edit

Please help me with...

I've added a reference on the H.P.Lovecraft "Books of the Chuthulu Mythos" page, adding a story collaboration with Hazel Heald that references the Book of Eibon. When I typed the book title and used " " marks (in order to italicize the work), my "code" did not convert the words to italic type on the Preview or Published page.

I left it and published it "as is", but would like my entry to be consistent with the rest of the paragraph. Please advise or adjust this for me. I shall look for your response and "Watch" the page. Thanks!

  • Hi Lily Luna Villon I think I understand your problem.... italics are encoded by double single quotes not double quotes.
"text" shows as "text" - just double quotes
''text'' shows as text - double single quotes for italic
'''text''' shows as text - triple single quotes for italic bold
'''''text''''' shows as text - so 5 for bold+italic
See Help:Cheatsheet for more basic markup help
