Marking up text. (Updated: Jun 26, 2008) - 2008-01-14 08:30 - Fujix

Availabe html tags
You can use following tags to mark up text: b, i, strike, s, u, ul, ol, li, tt, dd, dl, pre and blockquote.

Please use pre for code (word-wrap is disabled):

	static YELLOW_WORLD()
	{
		echo ("Yellow! World!");
										// this is a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong and looooooooooooooooooooooong line.
	}

And use blockquote tag to quote text. Word-wrap is enabled:

This is an example of blockquote tag. Word-wrapping is enabled.

You cannot use table, img and a tags. URL will be linked automatically like this: http://www.google.com/

Mantis built-in auto link
Writing "bug" and "BugID number" will be automatically linked to a bug view page. Example "bug00000".

Embedding YouTube and LiveVideo movie:
Copy and paste an embedding text provided by YouTube or LiveVideo as it is.
Mantis will investigate the link thoroughly to prevent SQL injection, modified link text won't be regarded as a proper link.
Check 01541 and 01932 for in-use examples.
