This is basically the list of tags, borrowed mostly from standards used in WikiWebs and such;
First, some notes.
- If a tag is opened on one line, but not closed
on that line, it is closed for you. That is to say, that if you
start text as bold, on line 3, no matter what you do, the text on
line 4 will start out as not bold.
- any of the escape characters, if doubled up, get escaped.. that is to say that ~this text will be italic~ however ~~this text will be surrounded by tildes~~
=== text formatting: *bold* <b>bold</b> **not bold** *not bold* _underline_ <u>underline</u> ~italic~ <i>italic</i> ^blue text^ <font color="blue">text</font> === misc html: ----- <hr> (five dashes) * foo (bulleted list items <ul>, etc) ** bar (same thing, but one level deeper) === links: first the URL, then any text to include in the link %http... foo% <a href="http...">foo</a> %ftp... foo% <a href="ftp...">foo</a> %foo@... foo% <a href="mailto:foo@...">foo</a> %img:http...% <img src="http..."> === livejournal specific things: %user:foo% <lj user="foo"> %post:8673 foo% <a href="http://www.livejour...=8673">foo</a> -8<- frag <lj-cut text="frag">Obviously, there are still some issues to be worked out, but this is the standard that I'm going to be coding to. Even if no one else supports it, it should be easy to implement in my client as a series of regex'es, but obviously, I'd like for there to be some kind of standard if others of you have already implemented something like this or were thinking of doing something like this in your clients...
