I believe SWIFT is an acronym for Shallow Water Inland Fast Tactical. Unfortunately swiftboats.net seems to be down and swiftboats.org relieas on it for tech info.

The gang educated me about doing italics and bold.

Put “less than symbol” then “i” than “greater than symbol” (how the bleep does one escape a character in this infernally aggravating system!?) to start italics and “less than” “forward slash” “i” to end it. Same for bold only use “b” rather than “i”. Not sure how to do uppercase bold other than to bold your uppercase typing.

If someone can give the magic incantation to get a “hot link” that there relying on the site’s automagic conversion of URLs to “Link…” I’d be grateful. Also, what about block quotes? I’ve tried using straight html captured from every html editor I have access to, but none of it works as intended when I preview. And after the spanking y’all gave me last time I ain’t puttin up nuttin out of the ordinary that don’t preview properly
