Allowed HTML

Soulcast posts and comments are a allowed to have HTML formatting in them. HTML lets you do things like Bold and Italicize text as well as many other web-formatting features. Not all HTML tags are supported due to security reasons. The "Compose" mode will create the HTML in a Word-like interface so you don't need to know HTML to use this feature. However there are times you will want to edit the HTML yourself.

Editing the HTML on your post or comment is simple. Click the 'Edit HTML' tab on the right side of your content box and you will be able to start inputting HTML. For instance if you wanted to bold some text you could type in:

<strong>This is bold!</strong>

and it would show up on your page as:

This is bold!

There are plenty of HTML tutorials on the web so we won't go into many details of the different requirements of the syntax. Here is a list of the supported HTML tags which you can manually use in your posts and comments.

• strong
• em
• b
• i
• p
• code
• pre
• tt
• cite
• big
• small
• address
• br
• span
• h1
• h2
• h3
• h4
• h5
• h6
• ul
• ol
• li
• div
• lo
• dt
• dd
• u

Some of these tags have attributes, for example <a> is not used alone to make a link. To make a link you add the href attribute. For example: <a href="http://www.soulcast.com">This is a link to Soulcast!</a> would show up as: This is a link to Soulcast!

The href attribute is probably the one you will use the most, but here is a list of all those available for use, along with the tag they are used on.

a:

• href
• target

blockquote:

• cite

del:

• cite
• datetime

ins:
