Compose tips

input formats:
  • Rich Text:
    • Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
    • Quoted content can be placed between [quote] tags in order to be displayed as an indented quote. Every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag. For example:

      [quote]This is a simple quote.[/quote]
      is displayed as:

      Quote:
      This is a simple quote.

      Additionally, there is an optional attribute which allows quotes to specify the original author.

      [quote=Mr. Drupal]This is a quote with an attribution line.[/quote]
            
      is displayed as:

      Mr. Drupal wrote:
      This is a quote with an attribution line.

      Finally, multiple [quote] tags can be nested within one another. Just remember that every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag.

            [quote]I think she says it best...
            [quote=Ms. Quotation]This is a quote nested within another quote.[/quote]
            but you can't argue with
            [quote=Ms. Reply]The more quotes, the merrier.
            Just don't get too carried away.[/quote]
            And I have nothing more to say.[/quote]
      is displayed as:

      Quote:
      I think she says it best...
