You can write

[sunjava]test[/sunjava]


result might be:
test

For example, that blue text is actually sent as this:

Code:

<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="color: blue;">test</span>

to your browser

[sunjava1]

You guys are not getting it, I know it is sent to broswer as html / cnverted into html etc etc.

What I want is to make a simple thing with <sunjava> or [sunjava] in my own small webpage, a personal tag for my own use so that in posts, or making dynamic pages, I can only use my own tag, and they'll be replaced with the style.

How to do that ? using xml ? or php ?

php regex replacing Or str_replace if you really must You can't really just "make" your own HTML tags

you might be able to using a custom DTD, but it'll probably end up confusing the major browsers that don't actually use the DTD and just treat it like a hint. I don't know which ones do that, though so good luck. I've never done anything like it so I have no idea where to point you to start.

In IE you can also add tags using JS, which is one way even IE6 can display simple HTML5 pages.

Tom's answer will suite your needs.

Just use <sunjava>Some Text</sunjava> while posting (storing the data to database). When you want to display the data (from database to browser), string replace <sunjava> with the opening tag you wish to display and </sunjava> with its respective closing tag, and then echo the data to browser.
