  Most unusual characters can be directly entered without any problems.

  If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like &amp; for an ampersand & character. For a full list of entities see HTML's entities page. Some of the available characters include:

  Character Description	You Type	You Get
  Ampersand	&	&
  Greater than	>	>
  Less than	&lt;	<
  Quotation mark	&quot;	"

• You can align images, videos, blockquotes and so on to the left, right or center. Examples:

  • Align an image to the left: <img src="" data-align="left" />
  • Align an image to the center: <img src="" data-align="center" />
  • Align an image to the right: <img src="" data-align="right" />
  • … and you can apply this to other elements as well: <video src="" data-align="center" />

• You can caption images, videos, blockquotes, and so on. Examples:

  • <img src="" data-caption="This is a caption" />
  • <video src="" data-caption="The Drupal Dance" />
  • <blockquote data-caption="Dries Buytaert">Drupal is awesome!</blockquote>
  • <code data-caption="Hello world in JavaScript.">alert("Hello world!");</code>
• Only images hosted on this site may be used in <img> tags.
