unrelated question (4.00 / 3)

Andi, I have a question that maybe you can answer: how do I post an HTML tag so it will show up in the text? If I wanted to post a tag for someone, how do I do it? I tried putting the whole tag in brackets[] and Parenthesis() ... and the tag just disappears. I thought I saw a tag posted by you a while ago. Can you help me? Can anyone? Thanks

Re: unrelated question (4.00 / 5)

Hi!

If you want a link, to, say the Washington Post to show up as the words "Washington Post" highlighted and with a link, then put the following (except remove the two * symbols):

<a* href="http://www.washingtonpost.com">Washington Post<*/a>

Re: unrelated question (4.00 / 4)

Auto Format version:

[" Washington Post http://washingtonpost.com "]

remove the " symbols, close up brackets and it becomes this:

Washington Post

Re: unrelated question (4.00 / 4)

Wow - That's cool! I feel like I did in school when they'd teach you the long, roundabout way to solve a math problem, and then say "Or you can do it like this - zip, zip, zip, done!"

Re: unrelated question (4.00 / 3)

If you want to have the code look exactly like it should, you have to do use character entities.

1. Switch to HTML Formatting.

2. For < the character entity is '&' + 'lt' = ';' and > the character entity is '&' + 'gt' + ';' IOW, you mush the amperand, the lt (or gt) and the semicolon together.

Re: unrelated question (none / 1)

This:
<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com">Washington Post</a>

Is the code for this:
Washington Post

And this:
[Washington Post http://washingtonpost.com]

Is the code for this:
Washington Post

Just so you know... If you do a forward-slash \ before a command it defeats the command that follows it... That way you can easily show commands.

In other words...

This:
\ <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com">Washington Post\ </a>

Is the code for this:
<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com">Washington Post</a>

Experiment with it and you'll get the idea.
