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

Dylan Beattie is a developer based in London, where he works as the tech lead at Spotlight, developing software for the theatre and casting industry. He wrote his first web page in 1994. Three years later, he found out what the Web actually was, and promptly abandoned a career in mathematics because programming looked way more fun and had at least as many brackets. He's been building Web apps on Microsoft technology since ASP was part of the Windows NT 4 Option Pack, and he was writing server-side domain models in Javascript way before it was cool. He even once ran code in JScript.NET. Dylan works on everything from Fluent NHibernate to CSS frameworks to user stories to database index tuning. He's consequently very interested in designing systems that use diverse software platforms to deliver a cohesive experience - software that looks great, works well, and no-one cares that behind the scenes there's .NET talking to Javascript talking to Ruby talking to legacy code.
