• Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd>

  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.

  Tag Description	You Type	You Get
  Anchors are used to make links to other pages.	<a href="http://www.tekronomicon.com">Tekronomicon</a>	Tekronomicon
  Emphasized	<em>Emphasized</em>	Emphasized
  Strong	<strong>Strong</strong>	Strong
  Cited	<cite>Cited</cite>	Cited
  Coded text used to show programming source code	<code>Coded</code>	Coded
  Unordered list - use the <li> to begin each list item	<ul> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> </ul>	First item Second item
  Ordered list - use the <li> to begin each list item	<ol> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> </ol>	First item Second item
  Definition lists are similar to other HTML lists. <dl> begins the definition list, <dt> begins the definition term and <dd> begins the definition description.	<dl> <dt>First term</dt> <dd>First definition</dd> <dt>Second term</dt> <dd>Second definition</dd> </dl>	First term First definition Second term Second definition

  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;	"

• Quote filter

  Quoted content can be placed between [quote] tags in order to be displayed as an indented quote. Every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag. For example:

  [quote]This is a simple quote.[/quote]

  is displayed as:
  Quote:

  This is a simple quote.

  Additionally, there is an optional attribute which allows quotes to specify the original author.

  [quote=Mr. Drupal]This is a quote with an attribution line.[/quote]
  

  is displayed as:
  Mr. Drupal wrote:

  This is a quote with an attribution line.

  Finally, multiple [quote] tags can be nested within one another. Just remember that every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag.

      [quote]I think she says it best...
      [quote=Ms. Quotation]This is a quote nested within another quote.[/quote]
      but you can't argue with
      [quote=Ms. Reply]The more quotes, the merrier.
      Just don't get too carried away.[/quote]
      And I have nothing more to say.[/quote]

  is displayed as:
