Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The line break, paragraph and close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
Each email address will be obfuscated in a human readable fashion or (if JavaScript is enabled) replaced with a spamproof clickable link.

Syntax highlighting of source code can be enabled with the following tags:

Generic syntax highlighting tags: "<blockcode>".
Language specific syntax highlighting tags: "<c>" for C source code, "<cpp>" for C++ source code, "<drupal5>" for Drupal 5 source code, "<drupal6>" for Drupal 6 source code, "<java>" for Java source code, "<javascript>" for Javascript source code, "<php>" for PHP source code, "<python>" for Python source code, "<ruby>" for Ruby source code.
PHP source code can also be enclosed in <?php ... ?> or <% ... %>, but additional options like line numbering are not possible here.

Options and tips:

The language for the generic syntax highlighting tags can be specified with one of the attribute(s): type, lang, language, class. The possible values are: "c" (for C), "cpp" (for C++), "drupal5" (for Drupal 5), "drupal6" (for Drupal 6), "java" (for Java), "javascript" (for Javascript), "php" (for PHP), "python" (for Python), "ruby" (for Ruby).
The supported tag styles are: <foo>, [foo].
Line numbering can be enabled/disabled with the attribute "linenumbers". Possible values are: "off" for no line numbers, "normal" for normal line numbers and "fancy" for fancy line numbers (every n^th line number highlighted). The start line number can be specified with the attribute "start", which implicitly enables normal line numbering. For fancy line numbering the interval for the highlighted line numbers can be specified with the attribute "fancy", which implicitly enables fancy line numbering.
If the source code between the tags contains a newline (e.g. immediatly after the opening tag), the highlighted source code will be displayed as a code block. Otherwise it will be displayed inline.

Defaults:

Default highlighting mode for generic syntax highlighting tags: the default language used for syntax highlighting is "php".
Default line numbering: normal line numbers.

Examples:

You type	You get
`<blockcode>foo = "bar";</blockcode>`	Inline code with the default syntax highlighting mode.
`<blockcode> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </blockcode>`	Code block with the default syntax highlighting mode.
`<blockcode lang="cpp" linenumbers="normal"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </blockcode>`	Code block with syntax highlighting for C++ source code and normal line numbers.
`<blockcode language="cpp" start="23" fancy="7"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </blockcode>`	Code block with syntax highlighting for C++ source code, line numbers starting from 23 and highlighted line numbers every 7^th line.
`<c> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; </c>`	Code block with syntax highlighting for C source code.
`<c start="23" fancy="7"> foo = "bar"; baz = "foz"; <c>`	Code block with syntax highlighting for C source code, line numbers starting from 23 and highlighted line numbers every 7^th line.
