Reply To: Just testing the various “allowed markup”s ☑️❎🆙

How I did what? Here’s the deal: Below the area where you type your posts, you’ll see a list of “Allowed markup”.

Put any of those things, for example blockquote, into this format:

<markup>desired text</markup> to use a certain effect with it. That is to say: the markup inside triangle brackets <> will start the effect, and the same thing, but with a backslash in front of the markup </> stops the effect. Those things inside the brackets will

not show in the post.

(Looking at this http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/moderation-memos-posting-tips-and-important-links again, I got it. “code” allows you to type HTML markup and not have it activate, useful for demonstrating how to use the things.)

I still don’t know what they all do, but here’s what I’ve found out:

“a” is meant to link (I think). I don’t know how you tell it where to link to. Well, at least it makes things red, and they go green when you put your cursor over them.

EDIT: “a” is apparently not for linking, as at least links to YWN pages are linked automatically.

“blockquote” gives a quotation effect.

Like so.

“code” causes whatever effects you type inside the “code” brackets not to be used, instead appearing as you typed it. It uses a different font, which is also useful for making a visual distinction between things. You can also use these ` (the key above Tab) for this effect (one before and one after the desired text).

“em” is for <em>italics</em>.

“strong” is for <strong>bold</strong>.

“ul” and “ol” both appear to indent. That’s probably not exactly

what they’re meant for.

“li” cause whatever you put into it to go underneath the bar where

your name and subtitle usually go. Search this page with Ctrl-F for falafel if you don’t see it. I think it may cause problems, though; look at the distance betweeen my second and third posts (but not between my first and second… I guess it’s complicated),

and how the reply text is smaller on this page than it normally is. Well, happy fancy posting!
