This is the thread where we ask how to do something simple and easy to explain, possibly involving html code or keyboards or stuff.

How do you type an umlaut? Or the squiggly thing that goes under a French 'c' to make it soft? Or the thing above a Spanish 'n' to make it 'ny' (like 'manana')?

How do you do scrolling text in html? And also flashing text?

on mac os you type alt and u at the same time the the letter you want the umlaut over.

Umlaut, for PCs at least, is done by holding down the ALT key, typing a three digit number and releasing the ALT key. ALT+129 = ü. http://www.asciitable.com/ has a list of extended ASCII codes, incl. the Ç (128), ç (135), ñ (164), and Ñ (165).

Flashing text: bracket your text with blink and /blink, both enclosed by <> to make blinking text. YOUR TEXT Feel like you're back in early WWW days?

The YOUR TEXT above was supposed to blink, but looks like the site's (smartly) disallowed that function.
