    I think it would be nice to be able to use a few html tags in a post to clean it up a little.

    for example:
    Instead of
    1. Ordered list 1
    • Ordered list 1, Unordered 1
    • Ordered list 1, Unordered 2
    1. Ordered list 2
    Allow a user to type in their own and have it render:
    <ol>
    <li>Ordered list 1</li>
    <ul>
    <li>Ordered list 1, Unordered 1</li>
    <li>Ordered list 1, Unordered 2</li>
    </ul>
    <li>Ordered list 2</li>
    </ol>

    Also, instead of posting every link, allow <a> tags. The user can hover to see the link anyway. I was trying to put a supply list on a how-to and would have preferred it to look like EX with each think clickable:
    1. Car Shampoo
    2. Buckets w/ Grit Guards
    3. Wash mitt
    4. etc.
    instead of

    Car Shampoo
    <link fjdkafldk;ajfkdlsjafdklsa;fjdklsafvdnkslaf;dmnsklafsvcmdsa;lvckjdsam'djsalkf;djfdkls;ajfdk'fkldsafj;dsaf>

    Buckets...
    <link afjkdla;cvndwaio;vcneisavnlkdcksla;gdska;vnkdfsvakl;djansmkvcldm;salcvijdns;afdhsgldk;sa>

    etc.

    It is sometimes easier to just add your own <em>Italics</em> or <strong>Bold</strong> tags instead of having to click a button, too

    Nevermind. Figured out how to do it with BB codes. I just have to constantly remind myself it's different.
