    • Adds a css style sheet that uses the <span> tags to substitute a showy ampersand in headlines, switch caps to small caps, and hang initial quotation marks.

  • 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.hollywoodchicago.com">HollywoodChicago.com: Film & theater reviews, interviews & news</a>	HollywoodChicago.com: Film & theater reviews, interviews & news
    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]

  • 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.
• Full HTML:
  
  • Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.

  • 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 node=id]

    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 to the image.

    Alternatively, if you specify node=id, a link will be created to the node with the given id.

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

  • 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>
  • Use the special tag [adsense:format:group:channel] or [adsense:flexiblock:location] to display Google AdSense ads.

  • The Views module allows administrators to create dynamic lists of content for display in pages or blocks. It is also possible to insert those lists into existing node bodies, but such inclusion requires that PHP filtering be turned on. This module allows any user to insert view listings using tag syntax, without the need for PHP execution permissions.

    [view:my view]

    will be replaced by the full listing of content defined by that view.

    [view:my view=10]

    will limit the listing to 10 items.
