Any chance we can put links in the value field?

At the moment you can put in a url and it will create a link but you can't change the link text - is there a way for it to support the insert link syntax from the general discussion input field?

ie: (url=http://www.mylink.com)link text(/url) -but with square brackets

Hmmm.

No.

:)

The BBCode stuff is an extension, it is only applied to the discussions and would be very difficult to apply that to the name/value pairs.

Ahh gotcha! I guess you'll have to settle for the Name part providing enough info

No
thehippy.net
I don't know what you mean
thehippy.net
I would never promote any of the crap content on that site
thehippy.net
It's not cool using forums for your own means
thehippy.net

(No, really it was the first URL in my head to test with)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
