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.
  • You can cite references directly into texts with <bib>citekey</bib>. This will be replaced with a running number (the publication reference) and the publication referenced by the citekey within the <bib> tags will be print to the bottom of the page (the reference).
  • Quoted content can be placed between [quote] tags in order to be displayed as an indented quote. Every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag. For example:

    [quote]This is a simple quote.[/quote]
    is displayed as:

    Quote:
    This is a simple quote.

    Additionally, there is an optional attribute which allows quotes to specify the original author.

    [quote=Mr. Drupal]This is a quote with an attribution line.[/quote]
          
    is displayed as:

    Mr. Drupal wrote:
    This is a quote with an attribution line.

    Finally, multiple [quote] tags can be nested within one another. Just remember that every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag.

          [quote]I think she says it best...
          [quote=Ms. Quotation]This is a quote nested within another quote.[/quote]
          but you can't argue with
          [quote=Ms. Reply]The more quotes, the merrier.
          Just don't get too carried away.[/quote]
          And I have nothing more to say.[/quote]
    is displayed as:

    Quote:
    I think she says it best...

  • The Glossary module will automatically mark terms that have been defined in the glossary vocabulary with links to their descriptions. These marks depend on the settings and may be a superscript character or an icon, or the term may be turned into an acronym, cite, or abbreviation. If there are certain phrases or sections of text that should be excluded from glossary marking and linking, use the special markup, [no-glossary] ... [/no-glossary]. Additionally, these HTML elements will not be scanned: a, abbr, acronym, code, pre.
  • Insert Google Map macro.
