Halp!1 I accidentally Deleted my little template for posting on DU - the text features

I've had a handy little homemade template for posting, that had the doodads for FONT TITLE SIZE, Strikethrough, Yellow-Highlighting and Quote-Unquote, like this:

********QUOTE*******

(bracket)font size(close bracket) (bracket)close font size(close bracket)



********UNQUOTE******



I'm reconstructing it. Can anybody provide the (what do you call them) for: Strikethrough. Yellow highlighting. Headline/title font size.

Please, very grateful in advance!

you should probably use a relative number like "+2" or "-1". Makes for better accessibility responses.

I'm a LOW tech, NO tech, so have been bargain basement MS/IE for my 20 yrs of basic 'putering.

I thought I was Kewl about migrating to Firefox about 6 mos ago. Well, you Savants tell me if I'm wrong, but FIREFOX has been BUGGY for me. It freezes a lot and won't let me do the most basic things I do, like Copy/Paste.

So, you tech Savants, I'm breaking orthodoxy here. Maybe I'll go back to IE, HERESY!1

I'll post tomorrow about my problem burning a CD audio disc in Windows Media Player, will have to cough up $25 for RealPlayer?!1
