    Here is a quick review of the limited tags we are supporting in our bbpress posts. We may stop usage of the img tag if we have security concerns.
    img, em, strong, code, a, blockquote, ul, ol, li, and br

    ---------------------------------

    img – used for linking to an image from a post.
    code:

    <img src="http://hscclub.net/wp-content/uploads/Web-Logo.gif">

    result:

    ---------------------------------

    em /em – will format italic text
    code:

    <em>this text is in itallics</em>
    result:
    this text is in itallics

    ---------------------------------

    strong /strong – will format bold text
    code:

    <strong>this text is strong</strong>

    result:
    this text is strong

    ---------------------------------

    code /code – will format text as code
    code:

    <code>
    this text looks like code
    </code>

    result:

    this text looks like code

    note: to get the box around the code you have to place a backtick on the line above and below the text you want boxed in. To make a backtick press the key above the tab key without holding shift.
    ---------------------------------

    a /a – used for placing links in a post.
    code:

    <a href=”http://www.google.com”>a link to google</a>

    result:

    blockquote /blockquote – for quoting text.
    code:

    <blockquote>are we in HTML<br />
    or BBC format?</blockquote>

    or BBC format?

    no the forum is currently not supporting the <i></i> tag instead use the <em></em> tag.

    So in this site it won't be just a simple button-click?
    Well I guess I'll just have to learn these...

    For now you will have to learn these. There are only 10 tags. It will be a great chance to practice some basic html programing!

    ey... Andy, mind explaining to me by it is "em" for Italics?

    I mean... I understood <i> because Italics started with an I... but... er... why "em"?

    I think of the em tag as standing for emphasis.
