[Solved] The italics option in the wiki editor does not work
-
[quote author="QtK" date="1293285966"]It was with "this":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/How_to_manually_unInstall_old_MS_Visual_Studio_Integration_and_install_VS_Pluging article. Please try to format it and check.[/quote]
It worked for me. I dont see any problem here and in wiki edit too
-
It seems it does not work when its a multi line sentence in upper case.

No It worked even in multi line upper letter case too. I converted following uppercase multi line text in italics in the wiki pointed above.
"HE FOLLOWING STEPS INVOLVE THE REGISTRY EDITOR. PLEASE USE CAUTION WHILE WORKING WITHIN THE REGISTRY EDITOR AND ALWAYS EXPORT A COPY OF YOUR REGISTRY AS A BACKUP FOR SAFETY"

It seems I am definitely doing something wrong, as no one is facing this issue.
-
Could you paste a snippet of your text here?
-
The text is the same as above. Also you can check what I had done in the edit history of that article. After first two tries, I was previewing the article to check if the changes were getting reflected or not. So other changes I tried won't be there in the history.

There is no problem:
@

@Just type
Star Underscore Text Underscore Star
without any spaces beteween Star, Underscore and Text.
[EDIT: this is the result of the above line:]
THE FOLLOWING STEPS INVOLVE THE REGISTRY EDITOR. PLEASE USE CAUTION WHILE WORKING WITHIN THE REGISTRY EDITOR AND ALWAYS EXPORT A COPY OF YOUR REGISTRY AS A BACKUP FOR SAFETY.BTW: I know that fiddling around in the windows registry is very dangerous. But triple-highighting (bold, italic and all-uppercase) looks a bit overdone from a typographical view. Moreover, all-uppercase is difficult to read, especially for longer sentences.

Volker is right. Better is to choose one type of highlighing (maybe with underlining). But even bold and italic are difficult to read.

[/quote]Thank you for pointing this out.
This was the reason why it was not working for me. While selecting multiple lines I was also selecting space and then clicking the italics I symbol in the editor. So it was not working.
