Sorry if it’s obvious but I did make an effort to find it if it exists.

Anyway, is there is a list somewhere, of HTML or similar tags that the board accepts? Some of the ones I used to use don’t seem to work anymore.

Thanks

ETA: Whoops, wrong types of tags.

Discourse has a user’s guide here which shows how to do formatting and other things:

Wait, what type of tags?

[The tags for Discourse are here](https://boards.straightdope.com/tags)

Do you mean html tags?  
Many are here:

Should this not be in Site Feedback, the category for technical questions, rather than in ATMB, the category for management questions?

Some of those links looks like what I was looking for. I think I used the wrong terminology - seems I was looking for formatting. Specifically, how to do superscript.

ETA: Figured it out, thanks.
