Formatting buttons

These buttons will insert formatting tags at the current cursor position in your comment.

You can also select text, click any tag button except Link and the text will be surrounded by the begin and end tags.

The tag buttons you see will depend on how the webmaster has configured the system.

If you type a tag that is not allowed into a comment, it will be removed.

The set of all possible tags is:

b bold text
i italic text
u underlined text
s strike through
code monospaced with background color
pre monospaced, all spacing and line breaks preserved
big large text
small small text
ctr centered text
quote quoted text
link inserts a link to a web page
img inserts a link to an image on the web
inserts a horizontal rule (a line)
< inserts a left bracket
> inserts a right bracket
ul
ol
li
inserts an unordered list tag
inserts an ordered (numbered) list tag

<ul>
