Compose tips

  • You may embed videos from the following providers vimeo. Just add the video URL to your textarea in the place where you would like the video to appear, i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw0jmvdh.
  • 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> <strong> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <img><h2><h3<h4>

    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:

    Block modifier syntax:

    CSS attributes can be applied to blocks (paragraphs, headers, etc.). CSS classes are specifed with (class); CSS IDs are specified with (#id); both can be specified with (class#id). An arbtirary CSS style can be applied by using {style}. Finally, language attributes are applied using [language].

    Additionally, alignment and indentation shorthands are provided. To left-align, right-align, center, and justify text, use <, >, =, and <>, respectively. ( left-indents a block 1em for each occurrence, and ) right-indents similarly.

    Tables have additional options. ^, -, and ~ specify top, middle, and bottom vertical alignment. The _ attribute on a cell indicates that it is a table header.

    The examples below illustrate these attributes.
