  This site allows HTML content. While learning all of HTML may feel intimidating, learning how to use a very small number of the most basic HTML "tags" is very easy. This table provides examples for each tag that is enabled on this site.

  For more information see W3C's HTML Specifications or use your favorite search engine to find other sites that explain HTML.

  Most unusual characters can be directly entered without any problems.

  If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like &amp; for an ampersand & character. For a full list of entities see HTML's entities page. Some of the available characters include:

  Character Description	You Type	You Get
  Ampersand	&	&
  Greater than	>	>
  Less than	&lt;	<
  Quotation mark	&quot;	"

• Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.

• You may link to files uploaded with the current node using special tags. The tags will be replaced by the corresponding files. For example: Suppose you uploaded three files (in this order):

  • imag1.png (referred as file #1)
  • file1.pdf (referred as file #2)
  • imag2.png (referred as file #3)

  [inline:1=test]  or  [inline:imag1.png=test]

  will be replaced by <img src=imag1.png alt=test>

  [file:1=test]  or  [file:imag1.png=test]

  will be replaced by <a href=imag1.png>test</a>

  [attachment:2=test]  or  [attachment:file1.pdf=test]

  will be replaced by <a href=file1.pdf.png>test</a>
