How do I format text into HTML?
Goodreads supports a set list of html tags that you can use to format your comments, reviews, and stories & writing. They are posted on the right side of most pages, and are also below:
- link: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com">my link text</a>
- link to book: use the "add book/author" link or [book: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone]
- link to author: use the "add book/author" link or [author: J.K. Rowling]
- image: <img src="http://www.goodreads.com/image..." width="40" height="100" alt="description"/> (Suggested image size in pixels: width 0-400, height 0-1000, "alt" is a description of the image. All three are optional, but recommended.)
- bold text: <b>...</b>
- italic text: <i>...</i>
- underline text: <u>...</u>
strike text: <s>...</s>- line break: <br>...</br>
- blockquote: <blockquote>...</blockquote>
- paragraph: <p>...</p>
- spoiler: <spoiler>...</spoiler>
Note: tags must be properly nested, example:
OK: <i><b>test</b></i>
Not OK: <i><b>test</i></b>
Well formed web urls automatically get turned into links:
