Entry Formatting
This site has several areas where users are allowed to enter text - most obviously:
- When posting comments.
- When creating weblog entries.
- When submitting articles.
Each of these areas allows you to choose from several input formats. Currently theses are the supported options:
- BBCode
BBCode is a similar markup language to HTML, but simpler in that it uses "[" and "]" to surround its tags rather than "<" and ">".
More information on using BBCode is available from wikipedia.
- HTML
HTML allows you to format your message in the way you'd like best - with most of the common tags available.
- Plain Text
When entering plain text your entry will be treated with no special changes, other than the auto-linkification of URLs.
- Textile
- Textile is a simple markup method which is designed to be simple to enter, and simple to read. More information on using Textile available from Wikipedia
If you change your input setting your choice will be saved as the new default, via AJAX magic, if you're signed in to your account.
If you have an idea for a new input formatting method then please suggest it.
