81 <table border="1"><tbody><tr><th>Tables now</th></tr><tr><td>Have headers</td></tr></tbody></table>
83 <p style="clear:both;"> </p>
88 [*] First list element
89 [*] Second list element
91 <ul class="listbullet" style="list-style-type: circle;">
92 <li> First list element<br>
94 <li> Second list element</li>
97 [list] is equivalent to [ul] (unordered list).
99 [ol] can be used instead of [list] to show an ordered list:
102 [*] First list element
103 [*] Second list element
105 <ul class="listdecimal" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li> First list element<br></li><li> Second list element</li></ul>
107 For more options on ordered lists, you can define the style of numeration on [list] argument:
108 <pre>[list=1]</pre> : decimal
110 <pre>[list=i]</pre> : lover case roman
112 <pre>[list=I]</pre> : upper case roman
114 <pre>[list=a]</pre> : lover case alphabetic
116 <pre>[list=A] </pre> : upper case alphabetic
124 You can embed video, audio and more in a message.
126 <pre>[video]url[/video]</pre>
127 <pre>[audio]url[/audio]</pre>
129 Where *url* can be an url to youtube, vimeo, soundcloud, or other sites wich supports oembed or opengraph specifications.
130 *url* can be also full url to an ogg file. HTML5 tag will be used to show it.
132 <pre>[url]*url*[/url]</pre>
134 If *url* supports oembed or opengraph specifications the embedded object will be shown (eg, documents from scribd).
135 Page title with a link to *url* will be shown.
140 <pre>[map]address[/map]</pre>
141 <pre>[map=lat,long]</pre>
143 You can embed maps from coordinates or addresses.
144 This require "openstreetmap" addon version 1.3 or newer.

148 Abstract for longer posts
149 -------------------------
151 If you want to spread your post to several third party networks you can have the problem that these networks have (for example) a length limitation.
154 Friendica is using a semi intelligent mechanism to generate a fitting abstract.
155 But it can be interesting to define an own abstract that will only be displayed on the external network.
156 This is done with the [abstract]-element.
159 <pre>[abstract]Totally interesting! A must-see! Please click the link![/abstract]
160 I want to tell you a really boring story that you really never wanted
163 Twitter would display the text "Totally interesting! A must-see! Please click the link!".
164 On Friendica you would only see the text after "I want to tell you a really ..."
166 It is even possible to define abstracts for separate networks:
169 [abstract]Hi friends Here are my newest pictures![abstract]
170 [abstract=twit]Hi my dear Twitter followers. Do you want to see my new
172 [abstract=apdn]Helly my dear followers on ADN. I made sone new pictures
173 that I wanted to share with you.[abstract]
174 Today I was in the woods and took some real cool pictures ...
177 For Twitter and App.net the system will use the defined abstracts.
178 For other networks (e.g. when you are using the "statusnet" connector that is used to post to GNU Social) the general abstract element will be used.
180 If you use (for example) the "buffer" connector to post to Facebook or Google+ you can use this element to define an abstract for a longer blogpost that you don't want to post completely to these networks.
182 Networks like Facebook or Google+ aren't length limited.
183 For this reason the [abstract] element isn't used.
184 Instead you have to name the explicit network:
187 [abstract]These days I had a strange encounter ...[abstract]
188 [abstract=goog]Helly my dear Google+ followers. You have to read my
189 newest blog post![abstract]
190 [abstract=face]Hello my Facebook friends. These days happened something
191 really cool.[abstract]
192 While taking pictures in the woods I had a really strange encounter ... </pre>
194 The [abstract] element isn't working with the native OStatus connection or with connectors where we post the HTML.
195 (Like Tumblr, Wordpress or Pump.io)
200 If you need to put literal bbcode in a message, [noparse], [nobb] or [pre] are used to escape bbcode:
202 <pre>[noparse][b]bold[/b][/noparse]</pre> : [b]bold[/b]
