- You can cite references directly into texts with
<bib>citekey</bib> or [bib]citekey[/bib]. This will be replaced with a running number (the publication reference) and the publication referenced by the citekey within the <bib> tags will be printed at the bottom of the page (the reference). - You can insert footnotes directly into texts with
[fn]This text becomes a footnote.[/fn]. This will be replaced with a running number (the footnote reference) and the text within the [fn] tags will be moved to the bottom of the page (the footnote). - You can insert footnotes directly into texts with [# ...]. This will be replaced with a running number (the footnote reference) and the text within the [# ...] tags will be moved to the bottom of the page (the footnote).

- Images can be added to this post.
To add a lightbox slideshow to your images, add rel="lightshow[slideshowname][slide caption]" attribute to any link tag to activate the slideshow. For example:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #3</a>
The title attribute in the link tag is optional. The addition of this attribute enables the display of a caption with the image displayed in the lightbox.
There are no limits to the number of slideshow image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each slideshow.
If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightshow[show1][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]'>image #1</a>It's possible to show video content in the lightbox. In this case the "rel" attribute should be set to
lightvideo. It's possible to group videos and to control the size of the lightbox by setting the "width" and "height" properties. The properties can be configured likelightvideo[group|width:300px; height: 200px;][caption]. The properties should all be of the format "property: value;" - note the closing semi-colon. If no properties are set, then the default width and height of 400px will be used. See below for more detailed examples.Basic example:
<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo">Google video example - default size</a>Controlling lightbox size example:
<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo[group|width:400px; height:300px;][caption]">Google video example - custom size</a>Supported video formats include asx, wmv, mov and swf. A number of online video providers are also supported, including YouTube and Google Video. For a full list of the current supported video providers please see the documentation on drupal.org.
