Can I use HTML tags or other kinds of formatting on my answers?
Sorry, you can't.

But it *is* possible to do some (highly) limited kinds of HTML-like things using just the "Natural text" formatting. For example, to include a hyperlink, do it like this: <http://chips.kaseorg.com/>. You just surround the URL with angle brackets during editing, and it'll come out as a hyperlink with the angle brackets removed. (The reason why you see the angle brackets here is because I typed in <<http://chips.kaseorg.com/>>)
