Compose tips

• Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
• 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.

• Flash Filter

  The basic syntax for embedding a flash file (.swf), flash movie (.flv) or audio file (.mp3) is:

  [flash:filename.swf]

  If you would like to override SWF Tools and flash player default settings, you can specify additional parameters. For example:

  Flash Filter will accept following parameters:
  • params : You can specify values for output inside <param> tags with the <embed> html. Typical values are bgcolor and wmode. Example: params="wmode=true&&bgcolor=#00FF00"
  • flashvars : You can specify values for output as flashvars, which become available to the flash player. Refer to the documentation of the flash player you are using to know what flashvar options are available. Example: flashvars="autostart=true&&volume=80"
  • files : Optional list of files to be passed, you'll normally define files relative to your Drupal files directory. Example: files="name1=image.jpg&&name2=movie.flv"
  • methods : Optional information about how to display the file. The most common usage is to specify a particular media player and thus override the settings page. Example: methods="player=onepixelout_mp3"

  WARNING: with params, flashvars and othervars, pass multiple values separated by &&.

• Paging Help

  Break long pages into smaller ones by means of a "page" tag:

  first page here.
  <!--pagebreak-->
  second page here.
  <!--pagebreak-->
  more pages here.
  

• To add a lightbox to your images, add rel="lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox. For example:

  <a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my caption">image #1</a>

  The title attribute in the link tag is optional. The addition of this attribute enables the display of a caption with the image displayed in the lightbox.

  If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, then you will need to include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:

  <a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #3</a>


  There are no limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set.

  If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:

  <a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title='<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>'>image #1</a>

• Image links from G2 are formatted for use with Lightbox.V2
• Images can be added to this post.

• You may link to files uploaded with the current node using special tags. The tags will be replaced by the corresponding files. For example: Suppose you uploaded three files (in this order):

  • imag1.png (referred as file #1)
  • file1.pdf (referred as file #2)
  • imag2.png (referred as file #3)

  [inline:1=test]  or  [inline:imag1.png=test]

  will be replaced by <img src=imag1.png alt=test>

  [file:1=test]  or  [file:imag1.png=test]

  will be replaced by <a href=imag1.png>test</a>

  [attachment:2=test]  or  [attachment:file1.pdf=test]

  will be replaced by <a href=file1.pdf.png>test</a>
• SSP slideshows can be added to this post. Example: [ssp|path=path/to/your/ssp/feed|width=300|height=200].
• Flash node macros can be added to this post.

• Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <iframe><br><style type="text/css"><td><tr><table><div><div style="display:none"><script><embed><img><img src=>

  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 &amp; 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	&	&
