    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://manwithfamily.com">Man with Family</a>	Man with Family
    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;	"

  • You can insert footnotes directly into texts with <fn>This text becomes a footnote.</fn>. This will be replaced with a running number (the footnote reference) and the text within the <fn> tags will be moved to the bottom of the page (the footnote).
  • You can insert footnotes directly into texts with [# ...]. This will be replaced with a running number (the footnote reference) and the text within the [# ...] tags will be moved to the bottom of the page (the footnote). This filter outputs footnotes in Textile format. You should use it together and before the Textile filter.
  • You can embed imagemenus into your nodes using the following syntax:
    [imagemenu:menu_id]
    Ensure that you don't have two of the same menus on the screen at any one time else the rollover links will not work correctly (as the images will have the same name tag).

  • To add a lightbox to your images, add rel="lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox. For example:

    <a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my caption">image #1</a>

    The title attribute in the link tag is optional. The addition of this attribute enables the display of a caption with the image displayed in the lightbox.

    If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, then you will need to include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:

    <a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #3</a>


    There are no limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set.

    If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:

    <a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title='<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>'>image #1</a>
