Emoticons


Emoticons are converted to small smiley images in the Reading view. BlueSpice has a list of emoticons, or smilies, coming from chat jargon. These can enhance communication by expressing things like irony, for example. If a user adds a smiley to an article, this is transformed into an image.

Tips

If a user adds an emoticon to a page, this is transformed into a small image.

Note: Emoticons cannot be used directly at the start of a line! This could otherwise lead to conflicts with other wiki markup e.g. indents or lists which start with : or ;. Therefore, always leave a space before an emoticon.
