Formatting Options

pMcode Reference

ExpressionEngine supports the use of “pMcode” within your entries.  pMcode is a sort of simple syntax that you can use to format your entries with bold text, links, and more.  It is very similar (in many cases identical) to the codes used on many popular forum packages.

pMcode can be used when you leave a comment. 

URLs and Linking

[url=http://www.your-site.com/]my site[/url]

my site

You can easily create links with custom text or simply with the URL itself as the link, as long as it is short.  Long URLs will not wrap (because there are no spaces in a link) so the page width will distort if the link is too long.

Email Links

We do not recommend posting your email address in comments on the site.  It will be picked up by bots that troll for email addresses to spam you.  (The email address you provide as part of your registration is protected and not visible to bots.)

[email]you@your-site.com[/email]

[email=you@your-site.com]click here to email[/email]

As with URLs, you can also format email addresses.  These pMcode tags will automatically encode the email address to make it more difficult for “spam bots” to retrieve it.

Font Sizes And Colors

[size=4]Hey look at this![/size]

Hey look at this!

You can specify font sizes as 1 through 6.  1 is the smallest and 6 is the largest.

[color=green]Some green text[/color]

Some green text

You may also specify a color for the text.  Further, these pMcodes can be nested.

[size=4][color=green]some larger green text[/color][/size]

some larger green text

Bold, Strong, Em And Italic

[b]some bold text[/b]

[strong]some strong text[/strong]

[em]some em text[/em]

[i]some italic text[/i]

some bold text

some strong text

some em text

some italic text

Bold, strong, em and italic text is simple to add.

Strike Text

[strike]text stricken[/strike]

text stricken

This produces text with a line through the center of it.  Note that the output of this tag is not valid in XHTML 1.0 Strict documents.

Quoting

[quote]Some text. blah, blah, blah...[/quote]

Some text. blah, blah, blah…

You can surround text written by someone else which you’d like to “quote”.  These tags will be replaced with <blockquote> HTML tags.
