Things You can do in Little Island Comments

HTML

Comments may contain certain HTML elements including <a> <p> <em> <strong> <img> <div> <span> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <br>.

Don't worry if you forget to close your tags properly, the HTML validator will do its best to clean up mistakes like that.

CSS

You can also set the style attribute on many of your HTML elements to change text colour or borders. In fact there are only a few restrictions on style (such as positioning outside of the comment body).

For example you might want black text with a black background to hide spoilers like this:

<span style="background-color: black; color: black;">Spoiler text.</span>

Spoiler text.

Unicode

You can use just about any character from any language available in the Unicode standard.

If you'd like some idea of what that means, take a look at Wikibooks' Unicode Reference; you can copy and paste any character you can find here. You'll find the symbol characters here.

It should be noted that support for multilingual characters is dependant on your system. In Windows you may need to install additional languages to be able to view a greater range. To check your language support go to the Control Panel and select Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options then Regional and Language Options. Select the Languages tab and check the boxes for 'Install files for complex script' and 'Install files for East Asian languages'. If these options are not already checked you will need your installation CD to complete the changes.

Entities

If you need to use the characters <, >, &, " or ', you may find that they disappear because the server thinks you are trying to use HTML. If this is the case you can tell it that you really mean to use the character by using entities instead: &lt; = <, > = >, & = &, " = " and ' = '.

In fact you can use any named or numeric entities in decimal or hexadecimal to input characters.
