Allowed HTML tags: <a> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <img>

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="https://answers.echinacities.com">echinacities</a>`	echinacities
Emphasized	`<em>Emphasized</em>`	Emphasized
Strong	`<strong>Strong</strong>`	Strong
Cited	`<cite>Cited</cite>`	Cited
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
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 img.
By default line break tags are automatically added, so use this tag to add additional ones. Use of this tag is different because it is not used with an open/close pair like all the others. Use the extra " /" inside the tag to maintain XHTML 1.0 compatibility	`Text with <br />line break`	Text with line break
By default paragraph tags are automatically added, so use this tag to add additional ones.	`<p>Paragraph one.</p> <p>Paragraph two.</p>`	Paragraph one. Paragraph two.
Underlined	`<u>Underlined</u>`	Underlined

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 & 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	`<`	<
Quotation mark	`"`	"

Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The line break, paragraph and close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.

If you include a textual smiley in your post (see chart below), it will be replaced by a graphical smiley.
