Compose tips

• Filtered HTML:
  
  • You can insert footnotes directly into texts with [fn]This text becomes a footnote.[/fn]. This will be replaced with a running number (the footnote reference) and the text within the [fn] tags will be moved to the bottom of the page (the footnote).
  • Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically. (Better URL filter.)

  • Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <p> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <blockquote> <cite> <div> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <img> <object>

    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.
