Normal text on an html page wraps to both sides of the available space as this sentence does.
Though html automatically eliminates tabs and more than one space between characters, there is an option for setting a full paragraph apart.
This command is called "blockquote." It acts as displayed here by increasing both margins.

This will give you a highlighted comment:
[table border=0][tr][td bgcolor=yellow][font color=darkblue]This is a comment for your consideration.[/font][/td][/tr][/table]

These commands will allow you to create tables:| Heading |
Another Heading |
|---|
| row 1, cell 1 | row 1, cell 2 | | row 2, cell 1 | row 2, cell 2 |
| heading |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | | under 123 | under 4 |
Note: After you've made your table, remove all the returns between lines of the table to avoid having a large blank space under your table as the board puts in the returns on top of those created by the table.
For Example, note the extra space between the "~" markers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Links to images are generally preferred over placing images directly in the text of a post. Links to files ending in jpg, png, etc., are all translated instantly into embedded images unless you add a space within the URL (http://www. fmwriters.com/gifs/board-art/An10302.gif). In the rare event that you desire the image itself visible (when teaching a class, for instance), post the link directly  . Make sure you own the image or that it is public domain so as not to violate copyright. |

Here's the neat short link that doesn't show the "http" stuff:
