Hi All,

I have been researching HTML code on the internet and every time I try to set up our corp MOTD it doesn't change the font just shows all the code there.

Any help would be great

I am fairly certain (like 20%, which here pretty much makes it a fact) that the MOTD uses XML, not HTML for basic formatting.

So instead of say:

[a href="someurl.com"]Some URL[/a] (square brackets just because we can't include html in posts)

It would be:

{url="someurl.com"}Some URL{/url} (but < > brackets instead. Square brackets get interpreted in posts too apparently)

It's been a while since I did much with the MOTDs, but there isn't a huge capability to interpret HTML anyway.

The text is autoescaped for security purposes, so it only accepts certain XML tags, which are essentially what you can do with the rich formatting options at the top of the MOTD when in settings mode.
