The <b>HistoryChip</b> site (circa Jan 2020) has limited support for formatting: the author can embed a limited set of html tags into a story while editing and when the story is displayed, the formatting will take effect. Only certain tags are supported however: image references and hyperlinks are examples of tags that are not supported.\r\n<pre>\r\n\r\n</pre>\r\nTags are composed of a \'&lt;\' character, a formatting tag, and a \'&gt;\' character with no spaces allowed between the angle brackets and the formatting tag. Most of the tags require starting and ending tags: the line and paragraph break tags do not.\r\n\r\n<pre>\r\n\r\n</pre>\r\nThe &lt; b &gt;...&lt; /b &gt; tag-pair produces <b>bold</b> text.\r\n<p>The &lt; I &gt;...&lt; /I &gt; tag-pair produces <I>italic</I> text.\r\n<p>We can nest them to get <b>bold and <I>bold italic</I></b> text.\r\n<p>The &lt; p &gt; and &lt; br &gt; tags create paragraph and line breaks.\r\n<p><p>The &lt; pre &gt;...&lt; /pre &gt; tag-pair produces pre-formatted text which preserves spacing:\r\n<pre>\r\nThis is multiline\r\ntext with some extra spaces.\r\n</pre>\r\n<pre>\r\n\r\n</pre>\r\n<b><i>N.B.</i></b> no markup is allowed inside a block of pre-formatted text.
