I ran my first Tourney last night - I was quite excited, and pleased that it didn't collapse.

I now want to write up a suitable Tournament Rules Page(s) ["TRP"]. This is, of course, a .lin file and I have little knowledge of how to write such a file.

I want to include headings, bold/italic, colour changes (in line), internet links, etc. I also want to include the graphic for "next page", which some TRPs have.

Is there a web site or help file where I can access the vocabulary and syntax of the .lin file ?

I've sent John my conditions of contest file with some examples in, but of course there is already a pinned thread in this forum with information.

Thanks Paul - your example was useful.

I can now include a hyperlink (that was also in the pinned item).

By experimentation I've discovered how to do bold and italic. There is a description of using colours in the pinned item and I will work on that.

But what about headers, font size, etc ??

Presumably, these are also possible - and of course thjat graphic for "next page".
