    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.
  • Content in [[double square brackets]] will be linked to existing content with that title, or a page to create that content. Links can contain an optional bar, "|". Content on the left of the bar is the target; to the right, the link shown. Links to pages outside this site are allowed. They must start with one of the following: "http", "https", "ftp", or "mailto", and can exist either by themselves, or on the left of the bar. Examples:
  • [[simple link]] - will go to the content titled "simple link" or a page to create that content.
  • [[this is the target|this is the source]] - will present "this is the source" as a link to "this is the target", or a page to create that content.
  • [[http://www.example.com|this is the source]] - will present "this is the source" as a link to http://www.example.com.
  • [[http://www.example.com]] - will present "http://www.example.com" as a link to http://www.example.com.

• Syntax highlighting of source code can be enabled with the following tags:

  • Generic syntax highlighting tags: "<code>", "<blockcode>".
  • Language specific syntax highlighting tags: .

  Options and tips:

  • The language for the generic syntax highlighting tags can be specified with one of the attribute(s): type, lang, language, class. The possible values are: "actionscript" (for ActionScript), "actionscript3" (for ActionScript 3), "c" (for C), "cpp" (for C++), "css" (for CSS), "drupal5" (for Drupal 5), "drupal6" (for Drupal 6), "html4strict" (for HTML), "java" (for Java), "javascript" (for Javascript), "mysql" (for MySQL), "perl" (for Perl), "php" (for PHP), "python" (for Python), "ruby" (for Ruby), "sql" (for SQL), "xml" (for XML).
  • The supported tag styles are: <foo>, [foo].
  • Line numbering can be enabled/disabled with the attribute "linenumbers". Possible values are: "off" for no line numbers, "normal" for normal line numbers and "fancy" for fancy line numbers (every n^th line number highlighted). The start line number can be specified with the attribute "start", which implicitly enables normal line numbering. For fancy line numbering the interval for the highlighted line numbers can be specified with the attribute "fancy", which implicitly enables fancy line numbering.
  • If the source code between the tags contains a newline (e.g. immediatly after the opening tag), the highlighted source code will be displayed as a code block. Otherwise it will be displayed inline.

  Defaults:

  • Default highlighting mode for generic syntax highlighting tags: the default language used for syntax highlighting is "drupal5".
  • Default line numbering: no line numbers.

  Examples:

  You type	You get
  <code>foo = "bar";</code>	Inline code with the default syntax highlighting mode.
  <code> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </code>	Code block with the default syntax highlighting mode.
  <code lang="php" linenumbers="normal"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </code>	Code block with syntax highlighting for PHP source code and normal line numbers.
  <code language="php" start="23" fancy="7"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </code>	Code block with syntax highlighting for PHP source code, line numbers starting from 23 and highlighted line numbers every 7th line.

• Insert Google Map macro.
• Internal paths in double quotes, written as "internal:node/99", for example, are replaced with the appropriate absolute URL or relative path. Given a site located at http://example.com/mysite, assuming clean URLs are enabled and "internal:admin/user" becomes "http://example.com/mysite/admin/user" and "internal:node/99" becomes "http://example.com/mysite/node/99". If 'node/99' has a URL alias assigned, such as 'news/latest' the alias will be substituted giving "http://example.com/mysite/news/latest".

Public Filtered HTML:
