How-To Geek

Hi whs. You can use bbcode. Write "code" in <> brackets and see the commands will show up as they should. To end, write "/code" in <> brackets. Of course, without the quotes.
It will look like this

Diskpart
List disk
Select disk n

(where n is the number that was given in List Disk for your disk in question)
Format /fs:NTFS Quick

Yes, I saw that. Perhaps this is not possible on HTG forums since the bbcode use is limited...
There was a "strong" bbcode which was used for bold text, seems that doesn't work either. Lets the mods arrive, we'll see...

Thanks Vistual, That may work. But you have to jump thru a lot of hops - and I am a lazy guy, LOL. If at least the forum would not change the editing settings. Then I could prepare the post in e.g. Word and paste it into here.

This tutorial I referred to earlier I had made in Word and just pasted it into the window of the tutorial section.

No problem ...
LOL!!
and i know where you're coming from!
it IS a bit time consuming, but the end results might justify the means. it takes a bit of patience though.

the trick is learning through trial and error what commands are accepted here.

there use to be a little key at the bottom of the text field that stated which bbcode was accepted but its no longer displayed.

One could always get one of the MANY programs that do 'macros' and use that to enter the surrounding code and the move the cursor to the proper point and make a normal text entry.

Irv S.

would love to know more about what he was referring to as well.
unfortunately - now that this was moved he might not even see that you posted the question regarding his suggestion.

from what i saw after a quick search (for programs that do 'macros')- i think he might have been hinting towards autohotkey maybe ???

what doesnt make the least bit of damn sense is that neither Hatty's post nor mine gave you the solution, but rather alternative techniques to use ( because of the limitations of the forum ) but yet my post was edited so that it only shows Hatty's suggestion which i simply made reference to so as to only make it more clear what he was talking about.
it was an unjustifiably stupid action that left me like WTF ? was that all about?

EDIT:
i wont go on about it any more since i hope that future posts in this thread will have more to do with addressing your original query.
hopefully Irv chimes back in to elaborate on what he was suggesting and how to implement it.

Tis fixed

Code is allowed in OT, but not on the main forums.
