Compose tips

• Allowed HTML tags: <h2> <h3> <a> <em> <strong> <strike> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd>

• Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
• You can insert footnotes directly into texts with [fn]This text becomes a footnote.[/fn]. This will be replaced with a running number (the footnote reference) and the text within the [fn] tags will be moved to the bottom of the page (the footnote).

• Syntax highlighting of source code can be enabled with the following tags:

  • Generic syntax highlighting tags: "<code>", "<blockcode>".
  • Language specific syntax highlighting tags: "<c>" for C source code, "<cpp>" for C++ source code, "<drupal5>" for Drupal 5 source code, "<drupal6>" for Drupal 6 source code, "<java>" for Java source code, "<javascript>" for Javascript source code, "<php>" for PHP source code, "<python>" for Python source code, "<ruby>" for Ruby source code.

  Options and tips:

  • The language for the generic syntax highlighting tags can be specified with one of the attribute(s): type, lang, language, class. The possible values are: "c" (for C), "cpp" (for C++), "drupal5" (for Drupal 5), "drupal6" (for Drupal 6), "html4strict" (for HTML), "java" (for Java), "javascript" (for Javascript), "php" (for PHP), "python" (for Python), "ruby" (for Ruby).
  • The supported tag styles are: <foo>, [foo].
  • Line numbering can be enabled/disabled with the attribute "linenumbers". Possible values are: "off" for no line numbers, "normal" for normal line numbers and "fancy" for fancy line numbers (every n^th line number highlighted). The start line number can be specified with the attribute "start", which implicitly enables normal line numbering. For fancy line numbering the interval for the highlighted line numbers can be specified with the attribute "fancy", which implicitly enables fancy line numbering.
  • If the source code between the tags contains a newline (e.g. immediatly after the opening tag), the highlighted source code will be displayed as a code block. Otherwise it will be displayed inline.
  • A title can be added to a code block with the attribute "title".

  Defaults:

  • Default highlighting mode for generic syntax highlighting tags: when no language attribute is specified, no syntax highlighting will be done.
  • Default line numbering: no line numbers.

  Examples:

  You type	You get
  <code>foo = "bar";</code>	Inline code with the default syntax highlighting mode.
  <code> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </code>	Code block with the default syntax highlighting mode.
  <code lang="drupal5" linenumbers="normal"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </code>	Code block with syntax highlighting for Drupal 5 source code and normal line numbers.
  <code language="drupal5" start="23" fancy="7"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </code>	Code block with syntax highlighting for Drupal 5 source code, line numbers starting from 23 and highlighted line numbers every 7th line.
  <c> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </c>	Code block with syntax highlighting for C source code.
  <c start="23" fancy="7"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; <c>	Code block with syntax highlighting for C source code, line numbers starting from 23 and highlighted line numbers every 7th line.

• You may link to files uploaded with the current node using special tags. The tags will be replaced by the corresponding files. For example: Suppose you uploaded three files (in this order):

  • imag1.png (referred as file #1)
  • file1.pdf (referred as file #2)
  • imag2.png (referred as file #3)

  [inline_upload|file=1|title=test]  or  [inline_upload|file=imag1.png|title=test]

  will be replaced by <img src=imag1.png alt=test>

• Email addresses will be obfuscated in the page source to reduce the chances of being harvested by spammers.

• 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...
