• Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <cite> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <blockcode>

  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.bedroomlan.org">BedroomLAN</a>	BedroomLAN
  Emphasized	<em>Emphasized</em>	Emphasized
  Strong	<strong>Strong</strong>	Strong
  Cited	<cite>Cited</cite>	Cited
  Block quoted	<blockquote>Block quoted</blockquote>	Block quoted
  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
  No help provided for tag li.
  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
  No help provided for tag dt.
  No help provided for tag dd.
  No help provided for tag blockcode.

  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;	"

• Syntax highlighting of source code can be enabled with the following tags:

  • Generic syntax highlighting tags: "<blockcode>".
  • Language specific syntax highlighting tags: "<asm>" for ASM source code, "<bash>" for Bash source code, "<bnf>" for bnf source code, "<c>" for C source code, "<cftasm>" for CFT Assembler source code, "<cpp>" for C++ source code, "<css>" for CSS source code, "<diff>" for Diff source code, "<dos>" for DOS source code, "<dot>" for dot source code, "<drupal5>" for Drupal 5 source code, "<drupal6>" for Drupal 6 source code, "<basic>" for FreeBasic source code, "<java>" for Java source code, "<javascript>" for Javascript source code, "<latex>" for LaTeX source code, "<lisp>" for Lisp source code, "<mcasm>" for mcasm source code, "<mysql>" for MySQL source code, "<pascal>" for Pascal source code, "<perl>" for Perl source code, "<php>" for PHP source code, "<python>" for Python source code, "<ruby>" for Ruby source code, "<scheme>" for Scheme source code, "<vhdl>" for VHDL source code, "<xml>" for XML source code.

  Options and tips:

  • The language for the generic syntax highlighting tags can be specified with one of the attribute(s): type, lang, language, class. The possible values are: "asm" (for ASM), "bash" (for Bash), "basic" (for FreeBasic), "bnf" (for bnf), "c" (for C), "cftasm" (for CFT Assembler), "cpp" (for C++), "css" (for CSS), "diff" (for Diff), "dos" (for DOS), "dot" (for dot), "drupal5" (for Drupal 5), "drupal6" (for Drupal 6), "freebasic" (for FreeBasic), "html4strict" (for HTML), "java" (for Java), "javascript" (for Javascript), "latex" (for LaTeX), "lisp" (for Lisp), "mcasm" (for mcasm), "mysql" (for MySQL), "pascal" (for Pascal), "perl" (for Perl), "php" (for PHP), "python" (for Python), "ruby" (for Ruby), "scheme" (for Scheme), "vhdl" (for VHDL), "xml" (for XML).
  • Line numbering can be enabled/disabled with the attribute "linenumbers". Possible values are: "off" for no line numbers, "normal" for normal line numbers and "fancy" for fancy line numbers (every n^th line number highlighted). The start line number can be specified with the attribute "start", which implicitly enables normal line numbering. For fancy line numbering the interval for the highlighted line numbers can be specified with the attribute "fancy", which implicitly enables fancy line numbering.
  • If the source code between the tags contains a newline (e.g. immediatly after the opening tag), the highlighted source code will be displayed as a code block. Otherwise it will be displayed inline.
  • A title can be added to a code block with the attribute "title".

  Defaults:

  • Default highlighting mode for generic syntax highlighting tags: when no language attribute is specified, no syntax highlighting will be done.
  • Default line numbering: no line numbers.

  Examples:

  You type	You get
  <blockcode>foo = "bar";</blockcode>	Inline code with the default syntax highlighting mode.
  <blockcode> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </blockcode>	Code block with the default syntax highlighting mode.
  <blockcode lang="xml" linenumbers="normal"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </blockcode>	Code block with syntax highlighting for XML source code and normal line numbers.
  <blockcode language="xml" start="23" fancy="7"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </blockcode>	Code block with syntax highlighting for XML source code, line numbers starting from 23 and highlighted line numbers every 7th line.
  <asm> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </asm>	Code block with syntax highlighting for ASM source code.
  <asm start="23" fancy="7"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; <asm>	Code block with syntax highlighting for ASM source code, line numbers starting from 23 and highlighted line numbers every 7th line.

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