I find it nearly unbelievable who terrible this forum system is.
I think there is a ton of useful information here, but it is just so difficult to read and follow, it ridiculous.
Come on Adobe. I cannot get over the fact that both this forum, and the now horrible ColdFusion Wiki, do not support code formatting in posts. Its such a common feature in other forum systems. Why adobe, why?
You need to use Advanced editor to produce something like this:
body {
margin-left: 2em;
margin-right: 2em;
margin-top: 1em;
margin-bottom: 3em;
text-align: justify;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center center;
background-color: #f0fff0;
}
Advanced editor icon is here:
When you click on Advanced Editor icon, your screen should look like this:
Notice the arrow directions icon I have highlighted. Click on it and

I'm not Adobe, but from what I've read that is a security measure, since "bad" code can cause problems

Obviously the rest of the users here do not know anything at all about this feature. I have been plowing through hundreds of post over on the ColdFusion forums, and NO ONE uses any kind of syntax highlighting when posting code.
I am willing to bet an entire paycheck on the fact that no one else even knows its there. The tool tip on that button needs to be more way descriptive for sure. 'Insert' does not cut it, as I was thinking in terms of images, links, etc.
mytaxsite.co.uk, odd handle you have there, but thank you for the info.

There are lots of features in this forum that are hidden from the user
and I understand somebody (or shall I say a group of people including
Adobe staff) is working to create a user guide/FAQ but it seems that
nobody has taken the lead role yet. It is time somebody takes
responsibility to work on it in earnest so that come September 2014, we
have something to go by, at least a beta version.

Joe,
As Pat said.
I have a text document with all sorts of things, many of them in HTML, from mere snippets to long lists and explanations (also including URLs), and I copy from it on a daily basis for use in my native forum.

Don't you have a HTML button on your forum editor menu:
You can do any kind of formatting, including highlighting, colored text, borders etc. - anything that HTML styles allow.

Um how do you get to these features on creating a Reply. Look at you illustration the only way you can get to the other editor is if you edit your reply or edit you post then it shows up.

Phillip, this is what I see immediately after pressing the Reply button on your message:
Both in FF/Mac and IE/Win.

Okay I found the editor that shows all the advanced editing features. Still doesn't have marker feature.

You need to know something about HTML and CSS to get all the fancy things. For example, Pat's message could be written as:
<p style="font-size: 30px; color: blue;">You can do any kind of formatting, including
<span style="background-color: yellow;">highlighting</span>,
<span style="color: blue;">colored text</span>,
<span style="border: 1px solid grey; padding: 0px 2px; border-radius: 2px;">
borders</span> etc. - anything that HTML styles allow.</p>
The above code will produce something like this (click on this picture):

That too much effort should automatically part of the editor. That something that built in Office for Mac. And other applications and also other Forums.
