| <em> | </em> | Italic text |
| <u> | </u> | Underlined text |
| <h...> | </h...> | Sets the heading style (1-6) |
| <br> | None | Starts a new line |
| <p> | </p> | Encloses a paragraph |
| <ul> | </ul> | Unordered list (i.e. bullet points) |
| <ol> | </ol> | Ordered (i.e. numbered) list |
| <li> | None | List item (for bullets and numbering) |
| <a href=...> | </a> | Anchor (i.e. hyperlink) |
| <img src=...> | None | Inserts an image |
| <style> | </style> | Encloses CSS style information |
