<h3>Markup Tags</h3>
<br>

<p>Use these <b>Markup Tags</b> instead of HTML tags to format your text and to create hyperlinks:
<br><br>
        
<center>
<table border=1 cellpadding=3>
<tr>
	<td><b>Markup Tag:</b></td>
	<td><b>HTML Equivalent:</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[BOLD]</td>
	<td>&lt;B&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[ENDBOLD]</td>
	<td>&lt;/B&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[ITALICS]</td>
	<td>&lt;I&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[ENDITALICS]</td>
	<td>&lt;/I&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[PRE]</td>
	<td>&lt;PRE&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[ENDPRE]</td>
	<td>&lt;/PRE&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[LIST]</td>
	<td>&lt;UL&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[ENDLIST]</td>
	<td>&lt;/UL&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[NUMLIST]</td>
	<td>&lt;OL&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[ENDNUMLIST]</td>
	<td>&lt;/OL&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[BULLET]</td>
	<td>&lt;LI&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[LINK]</td>
	<td>&lt;A HREF=...&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[LINK=...]</td>
	<td>&lt;A HREF=...&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>[ENDLINK]</td>
	<td>&lt;/A&gt;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

<p>Use [LINK] to make a link of a URL, where the text of the link is the URL. Use [LINK=] to create a link with clickable text that is different from the URL. 

<p><b>For example</b>:

        <br><br><li>[LINK] http://www.dotwidget.com [ENDLINK] - <i>will display a link with clickable text of "http://www.dotwidget.com"</i>. 

        <br><br><li>[LINK=http://www.dotwidget.com] Visit dotWidget.com! [ENDLINK] - <i>will display a link with clickable text of "Visit dotWidget.com!"</i>.    

<p>Note that line breaks are honored in content and bylines. Single line breaks are converted to &lt;BR&gt;, while double line breaks are converted to &lt;P&gt;.

<p>To add your own Markup Tags or to change existing ones, <b>carefully</b> edit the dotwidgeta/includes/convert_byline.inc and dotwidgeta/includes/convert_content.inc files.

<p>To remove the Markup Tag functionality, and to allow HTML in the content and bylines of your articles,  change the "Use Markup?" configuration setting to "No". Note that this setting will disable all Markup Tags and pass the HTML directly into your database. Do so at your own risk, as pernicious code could potentially make its way into your database.
