html tags and bbcode

Post by jason »

the following html tags are supported in posts:
  • b
  • i
  • u
  • pre
  • img
  • a
  • font
in addition to html, something called bbcode can be used. some of the typical uses are shown below and can be inserted using the buttons that are available when you are posting a topic or reply (they are easier to use than html).

example 1 : font color

Code: Select all

[color=red]this is red[/color] and this is not
this is red and this is not




example 2 : image posting

note: upload pics to an offsite image hosting site first like www.villagephotos.com

Code: Select all

example 3 : url posting

Code: Select all

check out the following url  [url]http://www.cathelp-online.com/[/url]
check out the following url http://www.cathelp-online.com/

or

Code: Select all

check out [url=http://www.cathelp-online.com/]this[/url] url.

:!: security issue.

sorry about this, but i had to remove the "a" html tag from being used in posts. this is typically used for posting a url to click on.

use the bbcode url tags instead (example 3 above).
