easy question?

i do not find guide on how to use tags when posting? how many kinds of tags can be used here? :-O
You mean like this: <B>B</B> <I>I</I> <STRIKE>STRIKE</STRIKE> Basically any HTML. I just don't think Chris will be all that impressed if you leave tags open. :~ Cheers, Simon "Sign up for a chance to be among the first to experience the wrath of the gods.", Microsoft's home page (24/06/2002)

i mean other than general tags. such as: how to quote other's clauses? how to highlight source codes? ... thanks. :)
This would be a good topic for the FAQ (is it?) There aren't any proprietary tags that i'm aware of, but etiquette usually dictates the following:
- Use
<code> </code>to display keywords or short bits of code. - Use
<pre> </pre>to display blocks of code. - Use
<i> </i>OR<em> </em>OR<cite> </cite>when quoting others, AND - Use
<small><b> </b></small>to display the name of the person you're quoting. - When posting code containing ampersands ( & ), greater-than ( > ), or less-than ( < ) symbols, use the appropriate HTML escapes (
&,>,<respectively) OR check the Display this message as-is (no HTML) checkbox when posting. - When posting links, at very least enclose them in
<a href="_link_">_title_</a> - If you're feeling nice, enclose links in a construct such as this:
<a href="_link_">_title_</a> [<a href="_link_" target="_blank">^</a>]This way, users won't have to reach all the way down to the shift key in order to open the link in a new window.
Finally, be careful when quoting messages such as this one, which use < and >, as if you don't escape them they may cause problems.

Aaah... It's time to relax. You know what that means: a glass of beer, your favorite ergo chair... And of course, The Code Project loaded on your Personal Computer System. So go on, and indulge yourself, put your feet up. Lean back and just enjoy the articles. After all, CP sooths even the savage :bob:

<a href="link">title</a> [<a href="link" target="_blank">^</a>](it defeats the purpose if you put the target="_blank" on both versions of the link!) Actually it would make sense if Chris built in some javascript that would automate this (a "add link" button that'd popup a window querying you for the url and title, and would insert the proper normal/new window link html for you) -- Help me!

You quoted code containing html tags, which then got re-interpreted as actual html, rather than text -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
