Hello team. On this page that I type in this request (under the Message category), there is a checkbox to indicate that your message can be entered as HTML Format. I know it enough, but don't claim to be an expert.

That said, I have a new forum, and while you do not check the box, you have the ability to use the editor to insert an image, and alter the appearance of text. I see headers [h2 or h3...], basic emojis [smiley image], the ability to add a hyperlink [a href], and the ability to put text in italics [i] and in bold [b], become evident as partial HTML-looking code in the design of the message, without checking the HTML Format.

I respectfully request for the Nabble team to consider some additional formatting options options for use in this "simplified HTML representation" for the following capabilities: ordered (numbered) lists, un-ordered (bulleted) lists, underline, and a way for indicate a text color.

If you took an offline editor, and copy/pasted full HTML formatted code, I'm pretty sure that would work... but would rather not force someone to do that. This forum is great and simple for people who don't have to know any type of coding, but a few additional capabilities like this seems like a good  investment to add some usability features.

If anyone from Nabble would like to comment, please feel free to respond here.
