If you want to put your thoughts in
italics you can (I do), but it's a little more prep work.
Just put a "[i.]" at the beginning of what you want italicized (without quote marks or period - but I had to include the period or the marking code would disappear and all you would see is the italics
), and a "[/i]" at the end of what you want italicized. Then make sure you double check by reviewing your document with the "preview post" button below (next to "Add Reply" button) to make sure you haven't made any mistakes. Usually, I use italics if I don't use the dialogue tag "he thought" and single quote marks if I do. Just to be extra confusing.
