      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:

  • Full HTML:
    • Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
    • The Views module allows administrators to create dynamic lists of content for display in pages or blocks. It is also possible to insert those lists into existing node bodies, but such inclusion requires that PHP filtering be turned on. This module allows any user to insert view listings using tag syntax, without the need for PHP execution permissions.

      [view:my view]
      will be replaced by the full listing of content defined by that view.
      [view:my view=10]
      will limit the listing to 10 items.
    • Images can be added to this post.
    • Each email address will be obfuscated in a human readble fashion or (if JavaScript is enabled) replaced with a spamproof clickable link.
