and HTML tags

IF IN DOUBT, USE MARKDOWN: https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/
You have three types of formatting available:
Those are applied in that order to produce HTML (we convert the BBCode to Markdown, then convert the Markdown to HTML), and the final output is then sanitised to remove HTML that can be used maliciously (i.e. to obtain someone else's cookies or session).
The BBCode we support:
b u i s color list * img attach url email citeThe final accepted list of HTML is captured within the user generated content policy, where anything not matching the following HTML is removed from the post:
Attributes: # global attributes dir on everything lang on everything id on everything title on everything # sectioning and grouping open on details cite on blockquote # links href on a name on map alt on area href on area # forms cite on q datetime on time value on meter min on meter max on meter low on meter high on meter optimum on meter value on progress max on progress # lists type on ol type on ul type on li value on li # tables height on table width on table summary on table align on col align on colgroup height on col height on colgroup width on col width on colgroup span on col span on colgroup valign on col valign on colgroup align on thead align on tr valign on thead valign on tr abbr on td abbr on th align on td align on th colspan on td colspan on th rowspan on td rowspan on th headers on td headers on th height on td height on th scope on td scope on th valign on td valign on th nowrap on td nowrap on th align on tbody align on tfoot valign on tbody valign on tfoot # images coords on area rel on area shape on area usemap on img align on img alt on img height on img width on img src on img URLs # these are the values of links, i.e. standard web links mailto: http:// http:// Elements # sectioning article aside details figure section summary # headers h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 hgroup # content grouping and separating blockquote br div hr p span wbr # links a map area img # phrase abbr acronym cite code dfn em figcaption mark s samp strong sub sup var q time # styles b i pre small strike tt u # language bdi bdo rp rt ruby # change tracking del ins # lists ol ul li dl dt dd # forms meter # tables table thead tr th tbody td tfoot captionAdditionally we add
nofollowas arelon all fully qualified links, and we will also add_blankas atargeton fully qualified links. HTML entities are also escaped, the output is pure HTML and nothing ambiguous will remain.Finally, any comment entirely made of capital letters (according to a lack of
unicode.IsLower()rune being present) will be run (in it's totality) throughunicode.ToLower()... which means anyoneSHOUTINGwill have their post converted toshouting.Essentially... you almost do not need to worry about it, we support multiple types of formatting and way more than you imagine, and it's very comprehensive so even if you're cutting and pasting in rich content from elsewhere it mostly works.
Notable omissions though, we do not support anything not explicitly mentioned above, but specifically we have not mentioned:
link script style object embedBut we will recognise links to some places (like YouTube) and convert those into embeds for you. We cannot take their HTML as input as it would mean disabling security features, but we can produce their HTML from a link.

I'm possibly in the wrong thread.... but I'm desperately looking for a list of the various text formatting options available esp. underscore, strikethrough.... I couldn't see any pinned post anywhere.
(Please forgive the non-techy pleb.)
And yes, I did make use of the search function.
