Personally, I think that you can just use the above selection of abbreviations for any warnings you
wish to use in your posts. You can adjust the format layout it doesn't have to be exact.
 
 

Very  Important:

Be careful when formatting your story since any special characters such as "smart quotes", tabs,
ellipses, often will get garbled and make it difficult for people to read your story. A way to avoid
this is to save your story in "Text only" format, close the file, and then re-open it. "Cut and paste"
your story into your email message, and you should be fine! Please Don't Send stories as file 
attachments, as some people cannot accept attached files through their email provider or program 
{and they tend not to show up on the Yahoogroup archives digests}.
