Compose tips
- Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
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>Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <i> <strong> <b> <u> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <h3> <h4> <h5> <pre> <kbd> <samp> <img> <del> <table> <tr> <td> <th>
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.

If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like & 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 << Quotation mark "" - 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 highlight code surrounded by the {syntaxhighlighter SPEC}...{/syntaxhighlighter} tags, where SPEC is a Syntaxhighlighter options string or "class="OPTIONS" title="the title".
Example: {syntaxhighlighter brush:php;collapse:true;first-line:50;highlight:[57,81,101];class-name:'some_class some_other_class'}...{/syntaxhighlighter}
This will syntax highlight PHP code, initially collapsed, start line number at 50, highlight lines 57, 81 and 101 and tag highlighted code with class names some_class and some_other_class.
See the Syntaxhighlighter javascript library site for additional helps.
