iPad Trick: Paragraph, Bold, Underline, Italic Function...problem solved!

If you're like me, I spend ALOT of time in my iPad....even if my Mac is in the same room, I'll type on my iPad. Of course we all know QVC gives us "little print" with no option for bold, underline, italics & paragraphs. I'VE FOUND A WAY! Granted there's a little work on the front end, but it's an option.

If you "quote" a poster, you'll see all the CODE that's embedded...and that's what you'll use. For illustration purposes only, I'll add a "$" so you can see the code without iPad inverting it to Code. REMOVE the $ to have it work, okay? There are 2 codes for each action...one to start & another to end. These start-end codes will encase the word/sentence you want highlighted.

Paragraph, start = <$p>

Paragraph, end = <$/p>

Bold, start = <$strong>

Bold, end = <$/strong>

Underline, start = <$span style="text-decoration: underline;">

Underline, end = <$/span>

Italics, start = <$em>

Italics, end = <$/em>

I've even created a shortcut by going to Settings - General - Keyboard & created a shortcut for each action. I've chosen not to add this to the Tip & Tricks thread....let's use this thread as a "practice place" for each of you to try out...no discussions, but just a testing ground with a word/paragraph or two.

BTW, I've typed all this out on my iPad! Let's try it out!!!
