HELP

how do I do italics on mibba? I can never figure it out. This most recent story I wrote definitely needs italics, but I just did /this/ to signify emphasis. And that looks really sloppy, so help please :)
if there was a nice little button it would be a lot easier, I think. Sorry, I'm trying to fill space since I'm supposed to have a hundred words. Figuring out how to bold things would be nice, too, because I've just been capitalizing the words I want to bold. I'm guessing it's something like </i/> and </b/> but I honestly have no idea. So, how do I do bold and italics? Please and thank you :)
