Compose tips

Filtered HTML

• To insert a link to an idiom, use the format [idiom name="Exact Idiom Title"]Text to display as link[/idiom] (you can also use angle brackets: <idiom name="Exact Idiom Title">Text to display as link</idiom>). Important: You must provide the exact title of the idiom as it is saved on the site within the name="" attribute. The text between the opening and closing tags will become the clickable link text.

  For example, if a song contains the line "when a pig fly", but the corresponding idiom on the site is titled "when pigs fly", you should wrap the text like this: [idiom name="when pigs fly"]when a pig fly[/idiom]. This will create a link to the "when pigs fly" idiom page, and the link text will be "when a pig fly".

• 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). See Footnotes Readme page for additional usage options.

• 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...
