How to use HTML in posts and comments

MonkeyFilter currently has no handy style and linking tags built into the posting and comment functions. Until it does, here's some useful tips on linking to stuff using HTML. Really, if you don't know how to use HTML, you should learn. It's useful and it's everywhere.

Style tags

If you want to bold, italicise or underline text in your post or comment, it's easy. The necessary tags are below:

  • Bold <b>Bold</b> or <strong>Bold</strong>
  • Underline <u>Underline</u>
  • Italics <i>Italics</i> or <em>Italics</em>
  • Strikethrough <strike>Strikethrough</strike>

Don't forget to always close your tags after the section you've changed.

Linking

The anchor <a> tag is used when linking. A link requires:

  • the anchor tag
  • a link URL (which begins with "http://")
  • a piece of text to attach to
  • a closing tag

For example, when linking to MonkeyFilter, your link will look like this:

<a href="http://monkeyfilter.com">This is a link to MonkeyFilter.</a>

After posting (and don't forget to preview) your link will look like this:

This is a link to MonkeyFilter.
