This site allows HTML content. While learning all of HTML may feel intimidating, learning how to use a very small number of the most basic HTML "tags" is very easy. This table provides examples for each tag that is enabled on this site.
For more information see W3C's HTML Specifications or use your favorite search engine to find other sites that explain HTML.

Most unusual characters can be directly entered without any problems.
If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like & for an ampersand & character. For a full list of entities see HTML's entities page. Some of the available characters include:
Character Description | You Type | You Get |
---|---|---|
Ampersand | & | & |
Greater than | > | > |
Less than | < | < |
Quotation mark | " | " |

The basic syntax for embedding a flash file (.swf), flash movie (.flv) or audio file (.mp3) is:
[swf file="filename.swf"]
If you would like to override SWF Tools and flash player default settings, you can specify additional parameters. For example:
[swf file="song.mp3" flashvars="backcolor=#AABBCC&&forecolor=#11AA11"]
If you would like to output a list of files then the format is:
[swf files="image1.jpg&&image2.jpg&&..."]
SWF Tools Filter will accept following:
params="wmode=true&&bgcolor="#00FF00"
Alternatively you can supply each parameter individually without using
params
. Example wmode="true" bgcolor="#00FF00"
flashvars="autostart=true&&volume=80"
methods="player=onepixelout_mp3"
WARNING: with params, flashvars and othervars, pass multiple values separated by &&.
