How can I edit boards, profiles, etc.?
You should not press "Enter" or "Return" after a link as the line wrap is done automatically.
By inserting an empty line, you start a new paragraph.
By typing one space character in an empty line you can expand the interval to the previous paragraph.
Advanced possibilites:
| Your input | What is displayed |
|---|---|
'''text''' | Text between three apostrophes (key combination SHIFT and #) will be displayed bold: text |
''text'' | Text between two apostrophes (key combination SHIFT and #) will be displayed in italics: text |
--------- | A line containing only hyphens will be shown as a horizontal rule. |
# Line1 | Lines starting with "#" will be displayed as an ordered list.
|
* Line1 | Lines starting with "*" will be displayed as a list.
|
> Citation | Lines starting with ">" are considered to be citations from an original posting and displayed in italics. This function is deactivated in profiles. >Citation >Citation |
:smileyname: | Inserts a smiley, if it is allowed at the current place (not all boards allow smilies. In profiles you can only use them as a VIP). If inserting them is allowed, you can use the "Add smiley" button, so you need not remember the name of the smiley. |
<header>My headline</header> | This allows you placing headlines, which are displayed a bit larger and are either adjusted centered, left or right. Please avoid using too many headlines, especially in the boards as otherwise a posting can become quite confusing. My headline My headline My headline |
[[http://www.spin-ag.de]] | An URL in double square brackets will be automatically linked. Do not forget the introducing http:// for a link, though! Also, we will automatically link most URLs which are part of your text, even without the brackes. You can also link email addresses that way. http://www.spin-ag.de http://www.spin-ag.de info@spinchat.com info@spinchat.com |
[[http://www.spin-ag.de|SPiN Homepage]] | By placing text beside a vertical bar behind the link ("|" - on PCs key combination ALT-GR and < - on Macs unter ALT and 7), the text will be displayed instead of the URL. SPiN Homepage Mail us! |
[[img:Imagenumber]] | Inserts a picture from your image gallery. You need the proper internal number for the picture, so it is best you use the "Add picture" button. By adding "left" or "right" after the number, you can adjust the picture left or right instead of centered. |
[[img:Imagenumber medi]] | Inserts a picture from your image gallery in the two miniaturisation steps supported by our system: "medi" and "mini". |
[[img:Imagenumber|My text]] | Replaces the default description of your picture. |
<code>Text | Displays text with a fixed-width font. This might be useful for ASCII Art or e.g. to format a code snippet in a programmers board.Text |
[[user:Username]] | Generates a link to the user's profile. Entering nicknames separated by commas enables you to link to several profiles. |
[[u:Username|Linktext]] | Generates a link to the user's profile and instead of the username inserts a text of yours. |
[[forum:Boardid/Threadid/Msgid]] | Links directly to a board posting or a help topic. Because it might be difficult for you to find out the right numbers, you can simply copy a link to the page you want to your clipboard (by mouseclick right) and insert it into the text. It will be automatically converted into the proper format as soon as you save. As with other links, you can modify the link text by placing a vertical bar "|" after the link and then your own description. |
[fn This is my text] | This text will be shown as a footnote pop-up when moving over the corresponding digit with the mousepointer. Example1 |
[[interest:Interest]] oder [[i:Interest]] | Links directly to interests. |
[[room:Roomname]] | Links directly to a chatroom. |
[[film:Filmtitle]]or generally for whatever [[product:Productname]] | Links to the names of film titles, CD titles, book titles, book authors or certain products in general. |
[[s:Whatever]] | Links to a username, a term, etc. either via the Site Search (s:) or via the web search (ws:) Examples:Warp, Spinchat |
| Linking ISBN and RFC numbers | ISBN and RFC numbers will be linked automatically in case they are written in the correct format Examples: RFC 822 and ISBN 345318683-4 |
