How are messages formatted?

For formatting, we use standard HTML tags.

By default, your message is assumed to be text. In this case, we will process some HTML tags but we will generally show your text as your entered it. If you check the "Message is in HTML Format" checkbox, then you can enter HTML.

We support some special tags which we process. Here is how they are used:

You Type We Show
<quote>some text</quote>
some text
<quote author='Bob'>some text</quote>
Bob wrote
some text
<email></email> [hidden email]
<raw> uninterpreted HTML like <a href='#'>link</a> </raw> uninterpreted HTML like link
