We are always working to make Local Hive more versatile and useful for you. With the latest update, you can use some simple codes to change the look of the content you write in your shop windows and noticeboard messages.
To make something bold, surround the text with [b] and [/b]
To make something italic, surround the text with [i] and [/i]
To make something bold an italic, surround the text like this [b][i] and [/i][/b]
To add a web link, simply paste the URL including the http:// or https:// part. http://www.localhive.co.uk/
Those are the simplest things. If you are up for it, you can even add lists. To open and close an unordered list (the one with dots) use [ul] and [/ul]. To open and close an ordered list (the one with numbers) use [ol] and [/ol]. Surround each list item with [li] and [/li]
- Unordered list item 1
- Unordered list item 2
- Ordered list item 1
- Ordered list item 2
Okay, for the purposes of this blog post we cheated and used normal HTML to change the text above. So here is a screen shot of a real virtual shop (an oxymoron?) created with the code you see below.
[b]Bold text[/b] [i]Italic text[/i] [b][i]Bold italic text[/i][/b] and a link http://www.localhive.co.uk/
Unordered List
[ul]
[li]Item 1[/li]
[li]Item 2
Ordered List
[ol]
[li]Item 1[/li]
[li]Item 2[/li]
[/ol][/li]
[/ul]
As you can see from the above example, you can even nest lists within lists.
We are looking forward to seeing the creative ways people will use these new codes!
