Compose tips

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.
  • Quick Tips:
    • Two or more spaces at a line's end = Line break
    • Double returns = Paragraph
    • *Single asterisks* or _single underscores_ = Emphasis
    • **Double** or __double__ = Strong
    • This is [a link](http://the.link.example.com "The optional title text")
    For complete details on the Markdown syntax, see the Markdown documentation and Markdown Extra documentation for tables, footnotes, and more.
  • Allowed HTML tags: <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <em> <strong> <code> <del> <blockquote> <q> <sub> <p> <br> <pre> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <a> <b> <u> <i> <sup> <img> <table> <tbody> <td> <th> <tr> <strike> <acronym> <br/> <caption> <hr>

  • Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
  • To post pieces of code, surround them with <code>...</code> tags. For PHP code, you can use <?php ... ?>, which will also colour it based on syntax.
  • Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
  • Only images hosted on this site may be used in <img> tags. Others are replaced with an error icon.
  • Content in [[double square brackets]] will be linked to existing content with that title, or a page to create that content. Links can contain an optional bar, "|". Content on the left of the bar is the target; to the right, the link shown. Links to pages outside this site are allowed. They must start with one of the following: "http", "https", "ftp", or "mailto", and can exist either by themselves, or on the left of the bar. Examples:
  • [[simple link]] - will go to the content titled "simple link" or a page to create that content.
  • [[this is the target|this is the source]] - will present "this is the source" as a link to "this is the target", or a page to create that content.
  • [[http://www.example.com|this is the source]] - will present "this is the source" as a link to http://www.example.com.
  • [[http://www.example.com]] - will present "http://www.example.com" as a link to http://www.example.com.
