$faq[] = array("How to create bold, italic and underlined text", "BBCode includes tags to allow you to quickly change the basic style of your text. This is achieved in the following ways: <ul><li>To make a piece of text bold enclose it in <b>[b][/b]</b>, eg. <br /><br /><b>[b]</b>Hello<b>[/b]</b><br /><br />will become <b>Hello</b></li><li>For underlining use <b>[u][/u]</b>, for example:<br /><br /><b>[u]</b>Good Morning<b>[/u]</b><br /><br />becomes <u>Good Morning</u></li><li>To italicise text use <b>[i][/i]</b>, eg.<br /><br />This is <b>[i]</b>Great!<b>[/i]</b><br /><br />would give This is <i>Great!</i></li></ul>");
$faq[] = array("How to change the text colour or size", "To alter the color or size of your text the following tags can be used. Keep in mind that how the output appears will depend on the viewers browser and system: <ul><li>Changing the colour of text is achieved by wrapping it in <b>[color=][/color]</b>. You can specify either a recognised colour name (eg. red, blue, yellow, etc.) or the hexadecimal triplet alternative, eg. #FFFFFF, #000000. For example, to create red text you could use:<br /><br /><b>[color=red]</b>Hello!<b>[/color]</b><br /><br />or<br /><br /><b>[color=#FF0000]</b>Hello!<b>[/color]</b><br /><br />will both output <span style=\"color:red\">Hello!</span></li><li>Changing the text size is achieved in a similar way using <b>[size=][/size]</b>. This tag is dependent on the template you are using but the recommended format is a numerical value representing the text size in pixels, starting at 1 (so tiny you will not see it) through to 29 (very large). For example:<br /><br /><b>[size=9]</b>SMALL<b>[/size]</b><br /><br />will generally be <span style=\"font-size:9px\">SMALL</span><br /><br />whereas:<br /><br /><b>[size=24]</b>HUGE!<b>[/size]</b><br /><br />will be <span style=\"font-size:24px\">HUGE!</span></li></ul>");
