when I put formatting into my display name, I use ·$ for colour, and ·# for bold.  What would you do to get italic?

Read this and this tutorial

It's a much much easier way to do it, instead of having to add them nasty codes every time.

Also, in Messenger Plus! Live, you no longer need to use the old code your using. There is a much easier way, called BBCode.

Here's an example:

code:

---

[b]This would be bold[/b]
[i]This would be italic[/i]
[u]This would be underlined[/u]

to get your name bold use               ·#

to get your name italic use              ·&

to get your name underlined use       ·@

to get your name striked out use       ·'

But it's still much easier to do it the way it says in the tutorial.

tbh, I don't call that easier, I call that different.

bbcode isn't easier, it is just a different way. It is also a not downwards compatible way. Meaning people with Plus!3 will not see your formatting. Hence why I still suggest not to use bbcodes but the IRC-style format codes instead.
