Web Form Markup Language© (WFML) is an HTML replacement that allows you to format your messages (i.e. bold face, italic, underline, adding hyperlinks, etc.). The Chat Rooms support a subset of WFML (only the tags that are relevant to a single line of text).
There are a few different types of WFML tags. The most basic form is a tag that requires no parameters (i.e. emoticons). Most tags, though, require at least one parameter. An example is the "bold" tag. The text you would like to make bold appears between the beginning and ending "bold tags (i.e. {b}this is bold!{/b}).
To include tags in your posts, either type them in manually or use the toolbar above the field. If you are using the toolbar, you will be prompted for parameters if the tag requires them. Also, if you are using Microsoft's Internet Explorer, there is an easier way to use the single parameter tags (i.e. bold, italic, underline, etc.). Simply type the text you would like to format, select it and click the desired toolbar button. All formatting will be applied when your message is displayed.
Please note that tags are not case sensitive so they do not need to be lower case. Also, it is important that you put no spaces between the tag and URL or email address for link tags.
The following is a list of WFML tags available in the Chat Rooms:
| Name | Description | Tags | Syntax | Output | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Bold | Make font face bold. | {b} and {/b} | {b}This is bold!{/b} | This is bold! |

|
Underline | Make font face underlined. | {u} and {/u} | {u}This is underlined!{/u} | This is underlined! |
|
Big Text | Make font face bigger. | {bigger} and {/bigger} | {bigger}This is bigger!{/bigger} | This is bigger! |
