Internetiquette

Each article may have to be funneled through as many as five email accounts before being posted on The American Partisan. This requires an idiot-proof system of marking text for publication. The system has three parts, spacing, tags and formatting.

1) Spacing

This may be a tough habit to break but DO NOT INDENT. Instead, leave an empty space between paragraphs. Also, leave two spaces between the period of the last sentence and the first letter of the new one.

2) Tags

If you mean for something to appear in Italics surround it with <I> and <I/> symbols.

For instance:

<I>You<I/> try finishing the style guide on three hours of sleep.

A similar scheme applies to boldface (<B>) and underlined text (<U>)

3) Formatting

Send prospective articles in the text of a message, not as an attachment.

(Publisher's note: we cannot stress the formatting enough!)
