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.

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:

To add a lightbox to your images, add rel="lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox. For example:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox">image #1</a>

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[][my caption]">image #1</a>

To show a caption either use the title attribute or put in the second set of square brackets of the rel attribute.

If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, then you will need to include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 2]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 3]">image #3</a>


There are no limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set.

If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightbox[][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]' >image #1</a>

To add a lightbox slideshow to your images, add rel="lightshow[slideshowname][slide caption]" attribute to any link tag to activate the slideshow. For example:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #3</a>


The title attribute in the link tag is optional. The addition of this attribute enables the display of a caption with the image displayed in the lightbox.

There are no limits to the number of slideshow image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each slideshow.

If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightshow[show1][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]'>image #1</a>

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]

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]

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]

SWF Tools Filter

The basic syntax for embedding a flash file (.swf), flash movie (.flv) or audio file (.mp3) is:

[swf file="filename.swf"]

If you would like to override SWF Tools and flash player default settings, you can specify additional parameters. For example:

[swf file="song.mp3" flashvars="backcolor=#AABBCC&&forecolor=#11AA11"]

If you would like to output a list of files then the format is:

[swf files="image1.jpg&&image2.jpg&&..."]

• params : You can specify values for parameters to be passed to Flash to control the appearance of the output. Typical values are bgcolor and wmode. Example: params="wmode=true&&bgcolor="#00FF00" Alternatively you can supply each parameter individually without using params. Example wmode="true" bgcolor="#00FF00"
• flashvars : You can specify values for output as flashvars, which become available to the Flash movie that is playing. This is often done to control a media player. Refer to the documentation of the flash player you are using to know what flashvar options are available. Example: flashvars="autostart=true&&volume=80"
• methods : Optional information about how to display the file. The most common usage is to specify a particular media player and thus override the default specified on the settings page. Example: methods="player=onepixelout_mp3"

WARNING: with params, flashvars and othervars, pass multiple values separated by &&.

To add a lightbox to your images, add rel="lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox. For example:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox">image #1</a>

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[][my caption]">image #1</a>

To show a caption either use the title attribute or put in the second set of square brackets of the rel attribute.

If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, then you will need to include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 2]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 3]">image #3</a>


There are no limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set.

If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightbox[][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]' >image #1</a>

To add a lightbox slideshow to your images, add rel="lightshow[slideshowname][slide caption]" attribute to any link tag to activate the slideshow. For example:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #3</a>


The title attribute in the link tag is optional. The addition of this attribute enables the display of a caption with the image displayed in the lightbox.

There are no limits to the number of slideshow image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each slideshow.

If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:
