Say you want to give a little emphasis or attitude to your post’s title. Make a word italicized or, better yet, crossed struck out.

Great idea but argh! The editing tool bar doesn’t apply to the title box.

Thankfully, there’s a simple way to get around the obstacle: HTML.

In order to italicize something, surround the words with “<i>” on the left and “</i>” on the right. An example:

• HTML (what you’ll write): This is <i>italicized</i>.
• Visual (what will appear): This is italicized.

In order to strike (or cross) out something, surround the words with “<strike>” on the left and “</strike>” on the right. An example:

• HTML (what you’ll write): This is <strike>strikeout</strike>.
• Visual (what will appear): This is strikeout.

For those of you who operate best with visuals, here the same process on video:
