Preserving HTML formatting Apart from the smileys you can use to convey your state of mind, you can also use a couple of formatting tags in your text in order to enhance the visual impact of your contributions. These are the tags you can use: To enlarge or reduce the font size, use [bigger] and [smaller] tags, e.g.: [bigger]This text will appear in bigger font[/bigger] and [smaller]This text will appear in smaller font[/smaller] To type in bold, use [b] To type in italics, use [i] To underline text, use [u] To change the font colour, use e.g. [color=red]This text will appear in red[/color] To display text in a monospaced font for source listings, put it in [source] tags To display bulleted lists, use [ul], [ud], [ol] or [od] tags, and for each item use the [li] tag. To display an Image, use the [image] tag as follows: [image=urlofyourimage] You can also display a tooltip text (alt) as follows: [image=urlofyourimage++alt] To display a hyperlink, use the [link] tag as follows: [link=urlofthelink]hyperlink text[/link] Please note that any urls typed into the document are automatically converted to hyperlinks, and you only need to use the [link] tag if you want the displayed text to differ from the URL. The Preview option is ideal for experimenting with these options as it allows you to try them out without having to post anything on the site. The old <preservehtml> tag has been made obsolete by the above changes. It will remain available for the diehards amongst you. |
