Formatting on the Trisquel forum
Besides plaintext we can use some HTML markup on the Trisquel forums. The following tags can be used (among others): <img> <a> <em> <strong> <code> <strike>.
Elements may have attributes, some mandatory, some optional. Note that you can combine elements by nesting them. Examples follow.
