I had seen those words but it wasn't clear their context was. I can do HTML in my sleep and I know what HTML stands for, and yet the word "markup" didn't ring any bells. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1175#post-7188 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:53:37 +0000 robodude666 7188@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>If you look below the <code>Send Post</code> button on every reply box, you'll see a list of allowed markup. That's all you need.</p> <p>bbPress uses HTML tags instead of BBCodes like most other forums use. If you're not familiar with HTML, then:</p> <p>The anchor tag is used for posting links, like so:</p> <p>&lt; a href="http://google.com&amp;quot" &gt;Google&lt; / a &gt;</p> <p>the href attribute refers to the URI of the link. The text between the &gt; and &lt; is the text that will display.</p> <p>To quote someone, copy and paste it between:</p> <p>&lt; blockquote &gt; and &lt; / blockquote &gt;</p> <p>There are other tags, like em, strong, ul, ol, and li. They refer to italics styling, bold styling, un-ordered lists, ordered lists, and list-items. You can learn more about them on <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_phrase_elements.asp">w3schools.com</a>.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>bbPress has weird processing. Remove spaces before/after &lt;, /, &gt;, etc. for valid syntax, or look at w3schools.com for examples. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1175#post-7187 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:36:29 +0000 tdc218 7187@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>How does one quote? Form urls? And all those other cool things I've seen people do? Are there any help files or documentation anywhere? If so it's well hidden. I even tried the bbPress link - everything I never wanted to know about installing the software, nothing about how to use it. Very frustrating. </p>
