The sole purpose of this sandbox is to show everyone a shortcut to making text bold, italic, or ''bold and italic.

See the subtitles below to learn how.

Basic

Okay, there are buttons above you can use to make text bold and/or italic. However, I find it faster to use the apostrophe (').

Bold

For bold, you would place three apostrophes right next to each other, like this, ' ' '. You would place text after that, so it looks like ' ' 'Example. Then you would close it with more ' ' '. Something I need to say; there are only spaces between my triple apostrophes because otherwise, it highlights half the text here. The spaces are for demonstration purposes only.

' ' ' Example ' ' ' = Example

Italic

For italic, you would use double apostrophes. It's the same procedure as bold text, so there shouldn't be any reason for explanation.

NOTE: For making text italic, do NOT use quotation marks ("). You should use individual apostrophes (').

' ' Example ' ' = Example

Bold and Italic

This one uses five apostrophes. Don't ask me why no one had the bright idea to make it four. All that does is makes the text bold and surrounded by single apostrophes.

' ' ' ' ' Example ' ' ' ' ' = Example

Recap

To conclude, you surround text with apostrophes (') to make text bold, italic, or both. You use a number of apostrophes respective to the change you want to make.

I can also do a good deal of HTML programming. I can make some tutorials here, if you want. To let me know, I would recommend my talk page.

P.S. I'm certainly not the best tutor ever for Wikipedians. I would go to the Wikipedia Tutorial 

Something else you might be interested in: the Wikipedia Cheetsheet  . I used it several times, and still do. It contains valuable information and code about this.
