[Mediawiki-l] Formating does not work

[BAI Zeming]

Hi Jim,

Exactly as what you said. The formating function simply doesn't work :(
I typed ''Italic Text'' and I got the same character string, not italic font.

Thanks,

No, nothing like that - I'm just trying to find out what your setup is.

For reference, the formatting toolbar adds formatting characters, but
doesn't format the text directly, per se.

So for example, if you write this:

  Italic Text

And highlight it and hid the Italics button, you'll get this:

  ''Italic Text''

Those two apostrophes before and after the text indicate italics.  They're
the same as <i></i> in HTML.

Is this what you're talking about? (Sorry if I misinterpreted the question)
