Over in the sandbox, I’ve been trying to figure out how to do superscripts and subscripts, or more generally, how to add HTML commands that aren’t provided as buttons.  I’m not having any luck.  At EZboard, you could manually enter HTML commands such as <sub> and <sup> and they would duly affect the appearance of the posted message.  I’ve tried with both angle brackets and square brackets without luck.  Does ExpressionEngine not allow any HTML formatting beyond that provided in the buttons?

How do you make a link work here, anyone?

(Please don’t say “whip it").

I haven’t tried it yet but as I recall from earlier discussions you use the <a> button.

Seems to work just like the “link” button back at EZboard.  A drop-down asks you to enter the URL, then the name.

Any other desired tags besides <sup> and <sub>?

Changing what’s allowed is fairly complex and I don’t want to muck about more than I have to. I’d like to get it down once and forget it.

Well, as long as you’re at it, I just recently learned about strikeout (<strike> or <s>) and I’d be happy if that was available.

I think I know what I did wrong.  You can’t see the < a > button in Fast Reply, only in Post A New Reply.

Google test.

Checking to see if superscript and subscript ever got added to the allowable HTML
1<super>1</super>
1[super]1[/super]
1¹
1[sup]1[/sup]
1₁
1[sub]1[/sub]

edit: no

I too would like sub and sup, and strikethrough would be nice too (comes in handy for little jokes).

I would amend my previous comment from “fairly complex” to “extremely complex.” There’s a lot of PHP scripting that needs to be done and it is really tricky to do it without screwing up everything else. Don’t look for these changes anytime soon.

Does [small]small[/small] work?

On preview: apparently not.  That would be nice to have as well.

But you can change size using the “Size” window in the “Font Formattng” bar. The actual HTML commands it inserts for ”Small” are “size=1” and “/size”.

edit: corrected “is” to “are”

Aha! I did not know that!
