So am I getting this right, Susi: You converted your file into html, then did the italics and bold manually and then sent the file to Schmiezi? Or the other way around, first the italics and bold and then you converted it into html?
Italics and bold manually, then converted to HTML, converted to BBCode to check in here if it worked. Then I sent the HTML file to Schmiezi because you cannot save the BBCode version.

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014
Okay, did it. Seems to work. So I'll send the html file to Schmiezi now. Thanks for all the advice, ladies!

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014
What if you copy the BBCode version, Susi, and paste it on a document for Schmiezi to copy?

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014
It is really not much work if you do it this way. Takes about two minutes.

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014
Try this:
I found a way to do, thanks to Harriet who posted the two-step conversion.
However, I had done italics and bold manually so I am not sure if this really works. But the line breaks are in there which is important. I sent the HTML file to Schmiezi so she only has to paste it into the BBCode converter and then put it in here. This way it should work.
First:

You're not working with the source code so you can't just throw it into a .txt.

You got mine, right? I hope the formatting worked out correctly. Thank goodness for Liberty and her fabulous beta skills. She claims to be new at it, but she did a wonderful job 
I really hope my recipient likes the fic.

The only reason I'm not missing mine is that I've already started writing the sequel.
I can't wait to see what you've all have come up with, too.

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014
Schmiezi, are you going to let us know on which days you will post a story?
Since we are not 24 participants, we won't get one every day, right? But next monday will bring us the first fic...?
