Hi Everyone,

Thank you taking time to read and answer my question. I am a Drupal newbie and just installed Drupal 6.17. I downloaded the Analytic theme and created my first page.

I want to have 2 paragraphs each with its own heading. I added in the page body using
Home » Administer » Content management

< h1 >Paragraph 1< / h1 >
This is my para 1 contents

< h2 >Paragraph 2< / h2 >
This is my para 2 contents

However, all the content inside the page's body are formatted in the same way. Its no use adding the html tags < h1 > and < h2 >. Any light on this is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tara

Hi there,

you probably have to change your Input format.

You can find the settings below the body field.

Choose Full HTML to use all html tags.

You can also set this permanent under admin/settings/filters

You are probably using the default 'filtered html' input format, and that doesn't (by default) let you use H1s.
(And fair enough because H1s are reserved for page titles)
But anyway, you either switch to using 'Full HTML' input format for that page, or add the allowed tags to the 'filtered' configuration.

Also remove the spaces between the bracket and the declaration (<h1> vs. < h1 >).

added that so that I can post my question without the tags being interpreted :)

Of course I tried putting my settings to full HTML, but one still can't input full HTML! Drupal won't even convert link or image tags, much less the lightbox html. Moreover, the description of "full html," is ONLY email addresses and web page addresses, which "turn into links automatically." How the hell is that full html? FILTERED has more options. What's up with Drupal????
