This site allows HTML content. While learning all of HTML may feel intimidating, learning how to use a very small number of the most basic HTML "tags" is very easy. This table provides examples for each tag that is enabled on this site.

You may quickly link to image nodes using a special syntax. Each image code will be replaced by thumbnail linked to full size image node. Syntax:
[image:node_id align=alignment hspace=n vspace=n border=n size=label width=n height=n nolink=(0|1) class=name style=style-data node=id]
Every parameter except node_id is optional.
Typically, you will specify one of
size
,width
, orheight
, or none of them. If you usesize=label
, where label is one of the image size labels specified on the image settings page, the size associated with that label will be used. The sizes "thumbnail", "preview", and "original" are always available. If you usewidth=n
orheight=n
, the image will be scaled to fit the specified width or height. If you use none of them, the thumbnail image size will be used.If you specify
nolink=1
, no link will be created to the image node. The default is to create a link to the image.Alternatively, if you specify
node=id
, a link will be created to the node with the given id.The
align
,hspace
,vspace
,border
,class
, andstyle
parameters set the corresponding attributes in the generatedimg
tag.- Images can be added to this post.
To add a lightbox to your images, add rel="lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox. For example:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox">image #1</a>
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[][my caption]">image #1</a>
To show a caption either use the title attribute or put in the second set of square brackets of the rel attribute.
If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, then you will need to include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 2]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 3]">image #3</a>
There are no limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set.
If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightbox[][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]' >image #1</a>
To add a lightbox slideshow to your images, add rel="lightshow[slideshowname][slide caption]" attribute to any link tag to activate the slideshow. For example:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #3</a>
The title attribute in the link tag is optional. The addition of this attribute enables the display of a caption with the image displayed in the lightbox.
There are no limits to the number of slideshow image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each slideshow.
If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightshow[show1][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]'>image #1</a>
It's possible to show video content in the lightbox. In this case the "rel" attribute should be set to
lightvideo
. It's possible to group videos and to control the size of the lightbox by setting the "width" and "height" properties. The properties can be configured likelightvideo[group|width:300px; height: 200px;][caption]
. The properties should all be of the format "property: value;" - note the closing semi-colon. If no properties are set, then the default width and height of 400px will be used. See below for more detailed examples.Basic example:
<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo">Google video example - default size</a>
Controlling lightbox size example:
<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo[group|width:400px; height:300px;][caption]">Google video example - custom size</a>
Supported video formats include asx, wmv, mov and swf. A number of online video providers are also supported, including YouTube and Google Video. For a full list of the current supported video providers please see the documentation on drupal.org.

SWF Tools Filter
The basic syntax for embedding a flash file (.swf), flash movie (.flv) or audio file (.mp3) is:
[swf file="filename.swf"]
If you would like to override SWF Tools and flash player default settings, you can specify additional parameters. For example:
[swf file="song.mp3" flashvars="backcolor=#AABBCC&&forecolor=#11AA11"]
If you would like to output a list of files then the format is:
SWF Tools Filter will accept following:[swf files="image1.jpg&&image2.jpg&&..."]
- params : You can specify values for parameters to be passed to Flash
to control the appearance of the output. Typical values are
bgcolor and wmode. Example:
params="wmode=true&&bgcolor="#00FF00"
Alternatively you can supply each parameter individually without usingparams
. Examplewmode="true" bgcolor="#00FF00"
- flashvars : You can specify values for output as flashvars, which
become available to the Flash movie that is playing. This is often done
to control a media player. Refer to the documentation of the flash player
you are using to know what flashvar options are available.
Example:
flashvars="autostart=true&&volume=80"
- methods : Optional information about how to display the file. The most
common usage is to specify a particular media player and
thus override the default specified on the settings page.
Example:
methods="player=onepixelout_mp3"
WARNING: with params, flashvars and othervars, pass multiple values separated by &&.
- params : You can specify values for parameters to be passed to Flash
to control the appearance of the output. Typical values are
bgcolor and wmode. Example:
