##Header 3

###Header 4

Erm… You know how in some wikis, there’s a link that takes you to the top or certain topics? Can we do that here?
back to top
The wiki uses html id’s to allow you to jump to certain parts of the page. The title for example has an id of “top”, so that you can use a link element to go to it, like so:
back to top
Now, in these forums you can’t really assign id’s to your own post, (maybe if you include an id in some of your own html? I haven’t tried it.), but you can also just do what you did by linking the post directly.
Use an html element with an id attribute in your post, for example an img:
or a header:
Title
It works! Wow
just
so
that
the
distance
between
the
lines
can
be
further
so
the
button
on
the
bottom
of
the
page
work
better
Edit, it seems that it goes to the earliest/top-most id of said link. Thanks!
The rules page has internally referenced anchors. It goes like this:
[Here's my fancy link](#anchorName)
<a name="#anchorName"></a>
My fancy content goes here. Click on fancy link and the page will scroll to this line.
Say, in order to introduce tags, do we HAVE to use heading? I can’t seem to make it work with div…
Here’s an example
<a href="#example">Here's an example</a>
which leads to
a

So… I tried formatting in MS Word before posting here, but I find that image links that are made in word don’t work? Is there any workaround? I have a LOT of images to link, and I find MS Word to be very easy to navigate through

^^ I copied link from PM to MS word, then copy it here
^^Link to image directly from PM.
You can see that I typed in the exact same thing. Try the “Quote Whole Post button.”
It’s the quote marks. Word is using smartquotes ” ” instead of plain " which are required in html and that is messing it up.
You can disable smartquotes somewhere in a Word menu.
Hey @moderators do you know what html tags Discourse actually allows us to use? Was the set modified in any way?
I haven’t been able to get much HTML to work in the preview and I haven’t tested if it actually works when i post it.
test 
Edit: huh? this doesn’t preview… but it does work when i post
OB said he didnt want to at some point in this thread.
[I don’t think I ever said that … #waitwhat OB]
Schormist asked for it to be pinned and you said that (which I interpretted as a really complicated ‘no’)
I’ll share some formatting I use, because some people steal it anyways.
box text
Done from <kbd> in front.
hover over text that can only be seen on a computer, you hover over the dotted text and it shows stuff.
Done by <abbr title=“this is the text you see when you hover over”>this is the regular text.</abbr>
biggest text you can do now
While you used to be able to stack <big> multiple times to get really big text, you cant do that anymore.
Now the biggest you can do is <big><font size=10> big text here.
Usually only one blank line shows up, even if you press enter multiple times. If you do <br>, it adds a blank line.
Clean showing code. If you’ve noticed, I haven’t had to use the ugly looking code like this to show what <text in brackets looks like>. I did this by putting a backslash before.
Like this \<code thing>
Is is possible to add links to other parts of your post with a HTML heading, or possibly to quote my own post so that it links to it? For example, would it be possible to set up a link HERE that would link to the text at the bottom of my post, so that people can jump to different parts of a post? Preferably, I’d like for this to work within the details tab, so that I can link to something hidden in the details. Is this possible?
