Can any one clarify me on which text should be used while posting a question or answer. While we are writing something, we have different texts like bold, italic, preformatted text, block quote. Which one should be used for which reason?

@AnkitSharma @KeshavSrinivasan @TheDestroyer @Tezz @Pandya @SwiftPushkar Look above ^^^

Pandya

@SreeCharan Bold for highlighting

@SreeCharan block quote for quoting text

@SreeCharan preformatted text is usually used for writing/quoting programming codes. You can use it as <pre> command for preserving formatting.

Tezz

@SreeCharan I don't know much.. I use one * enclosing for italicizing... ** enclosing for bolding.... *** enclosing for bold italicizing...

Pandya

@SreeCharan So, pre formatted is useful when you want exactly same formate (with spacing, newline etc) to that of you may use in text editor like wordpad.

Pandya

@SreeCharan Well, I do not know much about it, I'll give you a related reference when I find.

@Pandya धन्यवाद

Ha Ha...

Pandya

@SreeCharan meanwhile you may search on web to get some idea:

Italic type

In typography, italic type is a cursive font based on a stylized form of calligraphic handwriting. Owing to the influence from calligraphy, such fonts normally slant slightly to the right. Italics are a way to emphasise key points in a printed text, or when quoting a speaker a way to show which words they stressed. One manual of English usage described italics as "the print equivalent of underlining". The name comes from the fact that calligraphy-inspired typefaces were first designed in Italy, to replace documents traditionally written in a handwriting style called chancery hand.

Q: Need to know the puranic reference where says " Krishna is a tiny part of Lord Vishnu" . anyone care to answer?

I know Krishna is nothing but an avatar of Lord Vishnu. But Krishna is worshiped as the supreme godhead of Hinduism which is absolutely wrong. I read once from Vishnu Prana that Krishna is a very Tiny part of Lord Vishnu. If anyone know this please care to explain?? Thank you Namashkar.
