The only HTML code that I know works is "ampersand nbsp semi-colon" which leaves a blank line, if it's the only thing on it. It also can be used to force a blank space between characters.
I've not tried too many other escape sequences, but I also know that ALT codes work in many cases: List of ALT Codes - http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/ALTchrc.html
Some HTML code CAN be used for your profile, though: See http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2m_faq_ab_profile.shtml
Oh... The answer to which you referred was created and entered by the AB staff. Remember, they OWN the site, so can do anything they wish to it. ;-)

Jim, I had a look at http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/29198 and viewed at the source code of the page. The word "Level" stands there as <b>Level</b>. <b></b> is the common HTML code for bolt characters, it seems that we all not allowed to do so.

I haven't seen that at AB.
Do you have a link to any of those answers?
by Curtis on December 8th, 2008
I am not really sure if it works year, but the usual HTML code is <b> TEXT </b>.

You're reading I see some answers with bold-face text, bullet lists and even tables of data. What HTML markup is recognized within AB answers?

This question has both bold and italicized text in the "Asker's Pick" answer. I guess it is possible, but it's weird that no one knows how to do it.

That is now default formatting applied by the AB back end to the question.
