1. WTF! Does the Highlight show only after hitting the post button? nt

4. It's markup, not WYSIWYG. What you do "shows up" when you preview or post.

People are spoiled for wysiwyg, but making a website that does so is way more complex than using markup codes.

7. Are you scolding me for not knowing? nt

9. Just explaining.

I did mucho computer support.
Apologies if I offended.

2. That's what's supposed to happen.

3. Why doesn't the highlight show when writing my text. I like to proof read before hitting 'Post'. nt

5. That's what preview is for. See my reply above. It's not WYSIWYG

6. Fix it a lunch and drive it to work?

Just kidding.

8. Wow! Stay classy, I'll never ask another question here. nt
