    Most unusual characters can be directly entered without any problems.

    If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like &amp; for an ampersand & character. For a full list of entities see HTML's entities page. Some of the available characters include:

    Character Description	You Type	You Get
    Ampersand	&	&
    Greater than	>	>
    Less than	&lt;	<
    Quotation mark	&quot;	"

  • 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.
• Full HTML:
  
  • Internal paths in double quotes, written as "internal:node/99", for example, are replaced with the appropriate absolute URL or relative path. Given a site located at http://example.com/mysite, assuming clean URLs are enabled and "internal:admin/user" becomes "http://example.com/mysite/admin/user" and "internal:node/99" becomes "http://example.com/mysite/node/99". If 'node/99' has a URL alias assigned, such as 'news/latest' the alias will be substituted giving "http://example.com/mysite/news/latest".
  • 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.
  • Each email address will be obfuscated in a human readble fashion or (if JavaScript is enabled) replaced with a spamproof clickable link.
  • Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
