Italics don't work and content is missing.

I have encountered two problems when trying to update a page. First, Italics and Linking with brackets do not seem to work simultaneously, forcing me to choose one or the other. Secondly, when I accidentally added a second paragraph to my guide note instead of selecting an additional text block from the page options menu, I can not longer see this paragraph to delete it so I can give it it's own separete space on the page.

Does anyone know how to fix either one of these issues?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

What page are you having trouble with? The italics will work with the brackets as long as they are on the outside of them.

I am having the problem on my CSI: Miami and CSI: New York pages. I have tried using variations of the italics symbols in combination with the brackets and none of my setups work.

When I do something like this "terms" or this "terms", a portion of the phrase will either be cut-off OR they will come up looking weird with the brackets and stuff showing up in the user view.

When I claimed these pages, there was one CSI: New York phrase that was italicized the way I have been trying to get it already setup like this in the editing menu: York|"CSI:New York", so I tried to replicate this type of formating and typed some text and used that "|" sign in the middle and it didn't come out the same. Instead, it came out looking like this "CSI: New York" as a link without italics.

I wonder if the whole ":" in the middle does something to the italics formatting or something.

It's annoying because now, I had to take the : out and just have CSI: Miami or New York instead of CSI: Miami in order to get italics to show up on my page.

ok I see what you are doing, you are using the apostrophe outside of the brackets, you want to use two single apostrophes on each side. '' not "

If your page title has a colon, semi colon or exclamation point the code won't work. You need to just drop it from the term, it will still go to the correct page.

Hope that helps.

If you want to use italics and linking, you need to do it like this:

''Dexter''

If the italicized word is part of a longer phrase, you can do it like this:

Watch ''Dexter'' Online

I hope this helps!
