How do I control text size when composing a post?

[symbolipoint]

How can text size be controlled during composing of a post? Not found in any tools above the composition field.

You can use SIZE tags like this.

Edit: Click the gearwheel icon to toggle between WYSIWYG and visible markup mode.

I see no tool for it above the composition field but since you mentions size tags, I should be able to apply such tags and test the appearance.

The gear icon only turns on or turns off the tools in the toolbar menu. The only text appearance controls I see are BOLD, Italicize, and Underline, and Strike-through.

A tagging test:
[size 2]size 2[/size]
[size 4]size 4[/size]
[size 8]size 8[/size]
That would work, if I know the correct syntax for these tags.
Apparantly I do not know the needed syntax.

Trying again after some guidance from Ibex:
size 2[/size]
size 4[/size]
size 8[/size]

As with any coding, the easiest thing to do is plagiarise. What I meant you to do (although I did not say - apologies) was quote my post and click the gear icon to drop out of WYSIWYG and see the tags I used.

Generally, BBCODE seems to require an equals before arguments - so it's to get size 2 text

Yes, I just did that a few seconds ago upon seeing your last message. I did not know I would see that code. This is new to me even if not new to many other members. (I should make more use of it to see how some things are produced, when they look interesting.)
