close tags - This button closes whichever tags in your post are still open. HTML tags apply a style to the content

You can use the buttons above the text field to automatically insert the tags (or type them yourself, if you’re fancy).
For example:
Click the "b" to insert a <strong> tag. Type the text you want in bold, then click the "b" again to close.
Blah blah blah <strong>the bold part</strong> blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah the bold part blah blah blah.
You can also write your message, then use the cursor to highlight the part you want to be bold, then only click once on
the style you want to apply to your selection.
Happy formatting!
