[Solved] The italics option in the wiki editor does not work
-
I was trying to edit a wiki article and italicize a few sentences. But the the option didn't seem to work. Can someone verify it.
-
For me it worked ok, so it looks like a bug. Maybe you can point out example where it doesn't work?
-
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.
-
What browser are you using? and have you tried manually making italic text by using the underscore?
like this ?

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.

It seems I am definitely doing something wrong, as no one is facing this issue.

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.
