  Can you control font sizes other than using the heading styles? I couldn't find any examples in the Textile formating help.
  
  (I don't know CSS, but if you hum a few bars...)

  I don't think you can control font sizes (easily) using Textile other than using the h tags.
  
  Let's try some experiments. I don't know Textile very well myself, so I just play around with it until I figure stuff out.
  
  It won't work in the forums, but try the following on your wiki/adventure log pages:
  
  p{font-size: 200%;}. Here is some large text.
  
  p{font-size: 50%;}. Here is some tiny text.
  
  
  Just don't forget the period and space after the last curly brace!
  
  And, FYI, the "p" is a paragraph tag. I think you can use the CSS attributes on other tags as well, but I'm not 100% sure.

  Yup, that worked:

  Can you change the font as well?
  
  Hmmm, so I take it all these keywords and such are from CSS? I guess I will look for a a CSS reference and play around myself.
  
  Thanks!

  CSS is the defacto standard for styling up web pages. Without getting into the nitty-gritty, it allows for taking the raw HTML and making it look nicer.
  
  You should be able to change the font in a similar manner to the font size, perhaps with something like:
  
  p{font-family: Arial;}. Here is some arial text.
  
  p{font-family: Times;}. Here is some times text.
  
  
  A decent CSS reference is available at "w3school":http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp It's not great, but I can't think of another one off-hand.
  
  Note: Using CSS is considered a fairly advanced feature. Lots of people just use the bold, italics, tables, and other such "simple" stuff and avoid CSS altogether.
