    I know enough HTML to hand type the basic stuff without the use of an editor - but can someone explain the use of using "backticks" and examples of the code allowed here?

    Are links either within the site or out of the site allowed?

    The allowed markup seems to allow "em" which "emphasis" text but the usage of common tags like "i" for italic and "b" for bold, or "u" for underline seem to be absent.

    I love the fact that you are allowing "ul", "ol", and "li" tags to create bullet and numbered lists... but please explain how these are to be used using backticks. I'm used to enclosing tags in "<>" with a "</>" to close the tag.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    If you want to use html markup, you would input it like you would normally expect.

    backticks are used if you want to show the code "as is", rather then letting the html take effect. For example:

    this is a sentence in bold

    vs

    <strong>this is the code for bolding a sentence</strong>
