Standard Features Alignments, Marquee - scrolling display, Blink attribute, Text enhancements, Tables - rows and cells, Boxes
Here is a display of the three primary alignments available - but note the line gap forced by HTML between each element even though they have been written as one line. You will have to use a table to gain control
[font size="16pt"][color red]Red 16 pt type[/color][/font] [font face="Arial" color="black"]black type in Arial[/font][font size="2em" color="#0000ff" face="verdana"]Verdana [font size="5em"]5em blue type[/font][/font]
Red 16 pt type black type in ArialVerdana 5em blue type
This is a table display - without internal borders and without controlling the width of the three columns

This is a box display - without any internal borders. It is used to put a border around an object and to determine the background within the box area
[box color="white" background="red" border-size="5" border-style="dashed" border-color="yellow" width="100%" padding="10" height="100"]Hello world! (this is a box)[/box]
Hello world! (this is a box)
Extended Features Mailforms, Date and time display, Drop-down lists
Here is a mailform - specified in a box which defines the background image inside the box which has a border as defined. The colour of the text is separately defined (as black). The emailform itself dictates the requirement for a user to enter their name and email address and a message. The form will always be sent to the specified email address entered by the designer. The message area can be specified in terms of rows (default 6) and cols (default 40)
These are variations of the date and time display, notice that those letters or characters not being interpreted as date/time indicators are being displayed just as they are typed in - which includes GMT, UT, BST, : and - . Note that the time is the time taken from our own server, not from the user's own system
[date E D O Y] or [date E D O Y at 0h:0m:0s BST]
This is today [date e 0d/0n/y] : time [date h:m:s] at the moment
Monday 18th January 2021 or Monday 18th January 2021 at 02:27:21 BST
This is today Mon 18/01/21 : time 2:27:21 at the moment Note that the time shows when the page was first shown - it is not active
This is a drop-down list to allow users to see more details using less screen space - selecting any entry has no effect other than to leave that entry visible
[droplist list="black, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo"] Or using a different than standard comma as the delimiter: [droplist list="a number of black items; shining white examples; red apples & pears; oranges, grapes & bananas; yellow budgies; green marine animals; blue skies; violet, indigo and other colours in the rainbow" delimiter=";"]

Plug-ins Aphorisms, Sayings, Flash file display, Imagemaps, Weather forecasts, BBC News in brief
Here are three aphorisms, the 1st by itself. The 2nd is a box, specifying the width only, put around the aphorism, The 3rd is a box, specifying borders and colours, put around the aphorism, the 4th is created in two separate parts
Here is an example display of the imagemap facility - there are three areas, a rectangle, a circle and a polygon on the girls image - around her face - that will respond to a mouse click. You will see the cursor change into a hand shape when an area is able to be clicked.
Here is a web cam viewer - for customer support - it will allow the camera of selected named individuals at the client to be viewed by the users. The client's details are pre-defined and assigned and the support staff member will normally be selected by name from a dropdown list. So the tag - when implemented - may not look quite like this! With the associated textchat tag providing communication you will be able to offer more than standard customer support

Here are a number of images of the same girl but with different constraints put on the picture formats. The first is natural size, the second is with the width constrained to 100 pixels, the third is with the height constrained to 100 pixels, the last is with both the width and the height constrained to 100 pixels - which distorts the image.
