  • You may quickly link to image nodes using a special syntax. Each image code will be replaced by thumbnail linked to full size image node. Syntax:

    [image:node_id align=alignment hspace=n vspace=n border=n size=label width=n height=n nolink=(0|1) class=name style=style-data]

    Every parameter except node_id is optional.

    Typically, you will specify one of size, width, or height, or none of them. If you use size=label, where label is one of the image size labels specified on the image settings page, the size associated with that label will be used. The sizes "thumbnail", "preview", and "original" are always available. If you use width=n or height=n, the image will be scaled to fit the specified width or height. If you use none of them, the thumbnail image size will be used.

    If you specify nolink=1, no link will be created to the image node. The default is to create a link.

    The align, hspace, vspace, border, class, and style parameters set the corresponding attributes in the generated img tag.

  • If you include a textual smiley in your post (see chart below), it will be replaced by a graphical smiley.

  • To post pieces of code, surround them with <code>...</code> tags. For PHP code, you can use <?php ... ?>, which will also colour it based on syntax.

  • Adding Voting Controls

    You can let people vote on your post, or things in your post, just by adding a carefully formatted tag in your post. The tag should look like this:
    [voting|type=artwork|prompt=Rate my artwork:|confirmation=Thanks for voting!] The prompt and confirmation are optional.

  • 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.
  • Easily link to terms in various wikis or other websites by typing [prefix:term]. Use the "|" character to create a "piped link," e.g., "[w:public transport|public transportation]" displays as "public transportation." For a full list of available prefixes and the websites to which they point, see interwiki.

  • Allowed HTML tags: <A><I><LI><OL><U><UL><img><p><tt><table><hr><small><div><br><strike><b><pre><li><ul><td><tr><blockquote>

    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:
