The FPish messages use an HTML-like markup language to include elements such as code snippets, images or links. These are the tags you can use:

• Simple formatting
• Code
• Links & Images
• Lists
• Misc

<b>This syntax</b> inserts bold text.

<i>This syntax</i> inserts italic text.

<c>This syntax</c> inserts inline code.

<s>This syntax</s> inserts strikethrough text.

<h1>This syntax</h1> inserts a header. Available header tags are <h1>, <h2>, <h3> and <h4>.

<code>...</code> inserts a code snippet, like this:

main = putStrLn "This is a code snippet."

<code lang="fsharp">...</code> specifies the programming language, providing syntax higlighting:

let main() =
  printfn "This is an F# code snippet."

<a href="http://fpish.net">this syntax</a> inserts a link to FPish.net.

<img src="http://fpish.net/images/fish.png"> inserts an image.

You can insert ordered and unordered listings. They are identical to their HTML counterparts.

<ul> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> </ul>	becomes	Item 1 Item 2
<ol> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> </ol>	becomes	Item 1 Item 2

You can quote another post using <quote>...</quote>.

This is some nice code.

I quite agree with you.

You can add tables using HTML's <table>, <tr> and <td>.

<table> <tr> <td>C1</td> <td>C2</td> </tr><tr> <td>C3</td> <td>C4</td> </tr> </table>

becomes

C1 C2 C3 C4
