Compose tips

Syntax highlighting of source code can be enabled with the following tags:

Generic syntax highlighting tags: "<code>", "<blockcode>".
Language specific syntax highlighting tags: .

Options and tips:

The language for the generic syntax highlighting tags can be specified with one of the attribute(s): type, lang, language, class. The possible values are: "apache" (for Apache configuration), "applescript" (for AppleScript), "bash" (for Bash), "c" (for C), "c_mac" (for C (Mac)), "cpp" (for C++), "cpp-qt" (for C++ (QT)), "css" (for CSS), "drupal5" (for Drupal 5), "drupal6" (for Drupal 6), "html4strict" (for HTML), "ini" (for INI), "java" (for Java), "javascript" (for Javascript), "objc" (for Objective-C), "perl" (for Perl), "php" (for PHP), "php-brief" (for PHP (brief)), "povray" (for POVRAY), "python" (for Python), "rails" (for Rails), "robots" (for robots.txt), "ruby" (for Ruby), "smarty" (for Smarty), "sql" (for SQL), "text" (for Text), "xml" (for XML).
The supported tag styles are: <foo>, [foo].
Line numbering can be enabled/disabled with the attribute "linenumbers". Possible values are: "off" for no line numbers, "normal" for normal line numbers and "fancy" for fancy line numbers (every n^th line number highlighted). The start line number can be specified with the attribute "start", which implicitly enables normal line numbering. For fancy line numbering the interval for the highlighted line numbers can be specified with the attribute "fancy", which implicitly enables fancy line numbering.
If the source code between the tags contains a newline (e.g. immediatly after the opening tag), the highlighted source code will be displayed as a code block. Otherwise it will be displayed inline.

Defaults:

Default highlighting mode for generic syntax highlighting tags: when no language attribute is specified, no syntax highlighting will be done.
Default line numbering: fancy line numbers (every 5 lines).

Examples:

You type	You get
`<code>foo = "bar";</code>`	Inline code with the default syntax highlighting mode.
`<code> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </code>`	Code block with the default syntax highlighting mode.
`<code lang="java" linenumbers="normal"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </code>`	Code block with syntax highlighting for Java source code and normal line numbers.
`<code language="java" start="23" fancy="7"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </code>`	Code block with syntax highlighting for Java source code, line numbers starting from 23 and highlighted line numbers every 7^th line.

Get Amazon product data using [amazon ASIN selector], for example, [amazon 0399155341 thumbnail], [amazon 0399155341 full], or [amazon 0399155341 inline]. In addition, you can grab various data items from the item description using selectors like author, title, asin, isbn, ean, detailpageurl, salesrank, publisher, manufacturer, studio, label, binding, listpriceamount, listpricecurrencycode, listpriceformattedprice, lowestpriceamount, lowestpricecurrencycode, lowestpriceformattedprice, amazonpriceamount, amazonpricecurrencycode, amazonpriceformattedprice, productgroup, producttypename, invalid_asin, deweydecimalnumber, edition, numberofpages, publicationyear, type, releaseyear, publicationyear, smallimage, smallimageurl, smallimageheight, smallimagewidth, mediumimage, mediumimageurl, mediumimageheight, mediumimagewidth, largeimage, largeimageurl, largeimageheight, largeimagewidth. For example, [amazon 0596515804 title] will provide the title of the item, and [amazon 0596515804 largeimage] will be replaced with an img tag giving the large image. A complete description of filters is on the Amazon module handbook page.
Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.

If you include a textual smiley in your post (see chart below), it will be replaced by a graphical smiley.

“Any man with eyes in his head, whatever the ideas in his head, who looks at the world as it is today, must know that the whole social substance of marriage has changed . . . Numbers of normal people are getting married, thinking already that they may be divorced . . . The Church was right to refuse even the exception. The world has admitted the exception; and the exception has become the rule . . . The Catholic Church, standing almost alone, declared that it would in fact lead to an anarchical position; and the Catholic Church was right.” — The Well and the Shallows, NY: Sheed & Ward, 1935, 42-43 – G. K. Chesterton
