Help:TootCat/HTML/formatting

formatting posts with HTML

Note that the "Markdown" formatting option supports all of the tags supported by the HTML option (i.e. it's a superset), and Markdown supports some things that HTML does not -- so we recommend using the Markdown option rather than HTML only.

The following applies to both the HTML and Markdown options; see Markdown for syntax that only works in the Markdown option.

Tags

Character formatting:
 <b>bold</b>
 <i>italic</i>
 <u>underline</u>
 <sup>superscript</sup> -- e.g.: E=MC<sup>2</sup>
 <sub>subscript</sub> -- e.g.: H<sub>2</sub>O

Lists:
 <ul><li>item one<li>item two</ul>
 <ol<li>item one<li>item two</ol>
Links:
 <a href="URL">display text</a>
 #<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/softwareGripe">softwareGripe</a> - link to a hashtag feed without indexing the post containing the link

NOT SUPPORTED:
 <pre>, <tt>, <s>

(I put the # outside of the link so it looks a little different from a regular hashtag.)
