			== Three dots after a name ==

			Theosophical literature sometimes shows three dots in a triangle formation following a name. This can be accomplished using this sequence of commands:
			<sub></sub><sup></sup><sub>*</sub>

			A example is in the [[James Ralston Skinner]] article, where
			::'''<nowiki>Bro. J. Ralston Skinner <sub></sub><sup></sup><sub>*</sub></nowiki>'''

			gives this result:
			::'''Bro. J. Ralston Skinner <sub></sub><sup></sup><sub>*</sub>'''

	~~When~~ a double ~~underline~~ is ~~needed, as in some of the~~ transcriptions of ~~Mahatma Letters, use this HTML option~~:		In many of the Mahatma Letters, the writer has drawn a double underscore for emphasis. Special coding is necessary to add similar emphasis to transcriptions of letters:

	::'''<nowiki><u><span style="border-bottom: 1px double #000;">~~text~~</span></u></nowiki>'''		::'''<nowiki><u><span style="border-bottom: 1px double #000;">This phrase will have a double underscore.</span></u></nowiki>'''

	~~to get this~~ result: '''<u><span style="border-bottom: 1px double #000;">~~text~~</span></u>'''		This result will be:
			::'''<u><span style="border-bottom: 1px double #000;">This phrase will have a double underscore.</span></u>'''

	The result varies somewhat with the dimensions of the screen and size of the font. ~~Here are some alternatives:~~		(The result varies somewhat with the dimensions of the screen and size of the font).

	:: '''~~1px~~''' ~~for two equally thick lines:~~ '''<u><~~span style="border-bottom~~: ~~1px double #000;">text~~<~~/span~~></u>'''		As a contrast, this is the same phrase with a single underscore, achieved by using the common '''<nowiki><u></nowiki>''' and '''<nowiki></u></nowiki>''' tags.
	:: '''2px''' for ~~one~~ thin ~~line and a~~ thicker ~~line beneath it~~: '''<u><span style="border-bottom: 2px double #000;">text</span></u>'''
	:: '''3px''' ~~for~~ one ~~line with two thinner lines beneath it~~: '''<u><span style="border-bottom: 3px double #000;">text</span></u>'''		::'''<u>This phrase will have a single underscore.</u>

			If three lines are needed, you can replace the '''1px''' in the code for the following:

			:: '''2px''' for two thin lines beneath the thicker one: '''<u><span style="border-bottom: 2px double #000;">text</span></u>'''
			:: '''3px''' similar to the previous one, but different spacing: '''<u><span style="border-bottom: 3px double #000;">text</span></u>'''

			== Strikethrough ==

			One can draw a line through the text by using the '''<nowiki><s></nowiki>''' and '''<nowiki></s></nowiki>''' tags.

			::'''<nowiki><s>This phrase will be crossed out.</s></nowiki>'''

			The result will be:

			::'''<s>This phrase will be crossed out.</s>'''
