Updated list of allowed tags and attributes
  • For obvious reasons, we do not allow you to use any tag or attribute you want. All tags, that aren't on a special inclusion list are stripped from the input.
  • There are two lists, one for posts and one for comments.
  • **Posts** (Question, Answer, Article, IIRC user profiles; so generally everything longer) can contain as tags:
  • - `a`
  • - `p`
  • - `b`
  • - `i`
  • - `em`
  • - `strong`
  • - `hr`
  • - `h1`, `h2`, `h3`, `h4`, `h5`, `h6`
  • - `blockquote`
  • - `img`
  • - `strike`
  • - `del`, `ins`
  • - `code`
  • - `pre`
  • - `br`
  • - `ul`, `ol`, `li`
  • - `sup`, `sub`
  • - `section`
  • - `details`, `summary`
  • These tags can furthermore use the following attributes:
  • - `id`
  • - `class`
  • - `href`
  • - `title`
  • - `src`
  • - `height`
  • - `width`
  • - `alt`
  • **Comments** (and possibly some other shorter text types) may contain:
  • - `a`
  • - `b`
  • - `i`
  • - `em`

For obvious reasons, we do not allow you to use any tag or attribute you want. All tags, that aren't on a special inclusion list are stripped from the input.

There are two lists, one for posts and one for comments.

**Posts** (Question, Answer, Article, IIRC user profiles; so generally everything longer) can contain as tags:

- `a`
- `p`
- `b`
- `i`
- `em`
- `strong`
- `hr`
- `h1`, `h2`, `h3`, `h4`, `h5`, `h6`
- `blockquote`
- `img`
- `strike`
- `del`, `ins`
- `code`
- `pre`
- `br`
- `ul`, `ol`, `li`
- `sup`, `sub`
- `section`
- `details`, `summary`

These tags can furthermore use the following attributes:

- `id`
- `class`
- `href`
- `title`
- `src`
- `height`
- `width`
- `alt`

**Comments** (and possibly some other shorter text types) may contain:

- `a`
- `b`
- `i`
- `em`
- `strong`
- `strike`
- `del`
- `code`

These tags can use the attributes

- `href`
- `title`

This is the current list of available tags. It might, though, change in the future. For example `<details>` and `<summary>` were only added recently.
