Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
The new scripts handle HTML much better (I hope). It should work reliably, filter out "bad" HTML, and I've added a couple of convenience features. This test message tries out various kinds of HTML in a post.
This is bold
This is Italic
This is Underlined
anchor:

Advanced formatting
HTMLdisplay
Enclose HTML in <HTMLdisplay>...</HTMLdisplay> tags if you want to display the HTML itself in your post (for example, to teach somebody how to use HTML). The HTMLdisplay tag is shown in these examples, but won't be visible in a posted message.
<HTMLdisplay>
<HTMLdisplay>
CELL
· CELL

· CELL
</HTMLdisplay>
</HTMLdisplay>
HTML
The BBS system automatically formats returns into HTML P and BR tags. This can interfere with complex HTML, notably tables and bulleted or numbered list. To insert HTML into a message without return formatting, enclose it in <HTML>...</HTML> tags. (The HTML tag itself won't be visible.)
<HTML>
CELL
· CELL
CELL
· CELL
• bullet item
• bullet item
• bullet item
</HTML>
Forbidden HTML Tags
Potentially disruptic or dangerous tags are removed from messages. The brackets are
made displayable so that you can see the problem.
<APPLET>some dangerous Java applet</APPLET>
(Note: The filter works by allowing tags from a list. It won't pass new tags that might come along in the future until they're added to the list.)
Event suppression
Trying to use onclick
Behavior suppression
And trying to sneak in an MSIE behavior
