Some parts of your text will be formatted automatically - like links and e-mail addresses:
when entering![]() |
will display | e.g.:![]() |
http://www.test.com |
The text "http://www.test.com" formatted as a link to this URL - a new browser window will be opened when clicking the link! |
http://www.test.com |
The text "[email protected]" formatted as a mailto link to the given e-mail address. |
[email protected] |
More formatting can be done by using these formatting tags:
when entering![]() |
will display | e.g.:![]() |
||||||
