In order to help people maximize their content on this forum, I decided to start a discussion on HTML tips. Some of it I've shared over the years in other discussions.

This will allow an opportunity to not only allow learning but also try it out without disrupting other discussions. As well, I have yet to learn all the HTML tags supported by this community. Feel free to add to the list.

Hi Stephane,

I thought I would add one that I have used in the past – Hover Text

- Example
Epistemic Subterfuge

- Formatting
<a href=" " title=" Represents the idea that there are individuals and currents within an organization that rationally justify passive-aggressive behaviors to covertly achieve a contra goal to the one they are seemingly presenting themselves in alignment with. ">Epistemic Subterfuge</a>
George a nice one that actually works.
Sad that some don't work.

Now that we've got the most important HTML tag under our belt, let's learn some quick but commonly used tags to spruce up your comments.

You can use the i and b tags on this web site to, respectively, italicize and boldface your text. It's as simple as surrounding your text with <i or b> and </i or /b>.

You will notice that the i tag is sometimes rendered as a different font, rather than the italics of the same typeface. Unfortunately, the u tag for underline doesn't work here.
Now that you learned about the i and b tags for italics and boldface, I want you to not use them. Under HTML5, these are still supported but not advised - the technical term is deprecated. Instead, you should use strong for boldfacing and em (e.g. emphasis) for italicizing.

If you are interested in doing lists in your message, you can do an ordered list or an unordered list using the ol or ul tag, respectively.

Here is what the code would look like for an ordered list. Notice the use of the li tag for each listed item.

<ol>
<li>first list item</li>
<li>second list item</li>
</ol>

This is how it appears on this page. (Extra lines removed for conciseness.)
  1. first list item
  2. second list item


The unordered list (ul) is similar but will display bullets instead of numbering the items. Like so.

  • first list item
  • second list item
