Yet again, I hit Preview, it looked good, hit Send, and my post was mangled. Where's the Howto? Not the author howto, the forum editing howto. What markup tags are supported/accepted/auto-mangled? Why do I have to ask here instead of hitting a prominently displayed link to something so obviously useful? Thx. :-P |

You ask a great question, as far as I know most html tags work. Could you tell me exactly what tags you were trying to use? I am sorry that you post got mangled, if I can help in keeping it from happening again to you I am glad too. Scott |

Here is the thread from a while ago that I found discussing the html tags. http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/15483/ |

Scott: Quoting:You ask a great question, as far as I know most html tags work. $DEITY knows what's going to happen here ("forum quote tags" with embedded HTML URL tag) Quoting:. Ah ha! URL stripped. The lights are coming on. :-) Now I see it's a mixed bag of HTML and Quoting:forum markuptags, with some (which?) of the former disabled, and the latter left up to the imagination? :-) Scott: Quoting:Could you tell me exactly what tags you were trying to use? I was trying to say "< F1 >" (strip the spaces), which resulted in a noop. Then I tried "& l t ; F1 & g t ;", which I think resulted in "F1". I'm pretty new to web forums. I've been hiding out in Usenet all these years. Thanks for the hints and the link. |
