Feel free to edit the macro ((*doom)) to add a color that suits you to [Crystal Ball of Doom™ Technology]

This is not to be confused with ((*doomed)) which gives you [Europe.Is.Doomed™ Alert]

I'm wondering about making the macro take one argument so that, for instance, ((*doom Colman)) gives you [Colman's Crystal Ball of Doom™ Technology].

Mig,

Aside from the thirteen items in the New User Guide is there a list of other resources, such as the one you just created.  I would be happy if I could just turn print bold, put it in italics, and change color.  A toolbar?

For bold an italics just use HTML tags: <b>bold</b> <i>italics</i>, and for color you can do <span style = "color:red">red</span>.
But you can also use * for bold as in *bold* and _ for italics as in _italics_

Thanks, Mig

Is there a compendium I could buy or find online?

Here are all the elements you'll ever find on a web page. ET only support a subset of those. (it'll tell you if it is angry).

And the nice thing about html is, you can always look at the source to see how something is done : Ctrl+U in Firefox, for example.

I heartily endorse the [Colman's Crystal Ball of DoomTM] macro.

By the way, instead of Crystal Ball of Doom couldn't we just call it Palantir?

My first few choices of jaundiced green had too little contrast on a white background...
