BigCommerce currently strips emojis from articles/posts. To get around this use the following to work out the HTML equivalent of the emoji: https://mothereff.in/html-entities
For how to's on basic HTML coding go to: http://www.w3schools.com/
HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags:
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<h2>This is a heading</h2>
<h3>This is a heading</h3>
HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag:
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
HTML links are defined with the <a> tag:
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
HTML images are defined with the <img> tag.
The source file (src), alternative text (alt), and size (width and height) are provided as attributes:
<img src="w3schools.jpg" alt="W3Schools.com" width="104" height="142">
The HTML <br> element defines a line break.
Use <br> if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph:
<p>This is<br>a para<br>graph with line breaks</p>
This plain-text list will allow you to copy and paste common HTML tags directly into Wordpress (or another CMS). We hope you find it useful! ______________________________________________________________________________________ Basic HTML Tags Create an HTML Document: <html></html> Create Body (must be placed within <html></html>): <body></body> Links Create A Link: <a href=“Insert URL">Insert anchor text</a> Create A No-Follow Link: <a href=Insert URL" rel="nofollow">Insert Anchor Text</a> Mailto Link: <a href="mailto:InsertEmailAddress”></a> - this will create an email pop-up

Linking Within A Single Post/Page*
Create Internal Anchor Destination: <id="something"> Create On-Page Internal Link: <a href=“#InsertID“>Insert Anchor Text</a> *This method differs from the approach shown in our blog post. However, it will achieve the same result. Images Add Image: <img src=“Image URL“> Create Image Link: <a href=“Insert Destination URL"><img src=“Image URL"> </a> Importance Tags Use <em> to indicate emphasis or stress. (italics) Use <strong> to indicate importance. (bold) Use <mark> to indicate relevance. (highlight) Use <cite> to mark the name of a work, such as a book, play, or song. Use <dfn> to mark the defining instance of a term. Formatting Line Break: <br> Non-Breaking Space: Block Quote: <blockquote></blockquote> Create A Paragraph: <p></p> Add Horizontal Line: <hr> Lists Numbered List: <ol></ol> Bulleted List: <ul></ul> List Item: <li></li> - Must be used inside <ol></ol> or <ul></ul> Add Image: <img src=“Image URL“> Page Anchors Content being linked from: <a href="#anchor name"> e.g. <a href="#top">Go to top</a> Content being linked to: id="anchor name" e.g. <h2 id="top">Top of page!</h2> On-Page Deep Links Create On-Page Link Target: <a name=“Insert Text“></a> Create On-Page Deep Link To Target: <a href=“#Insert Text“></a> Headings Header (h1): <h1></h1> Header (h2): <h2></h2> Header (h3): <h3></h3> Header (h4): <h4></h4> Header (h5): <h5></h5> Header (h6): <h6></h6> Tables Create A Table: <table></table> Table Header: <th></th> Table Body: <tbody></tbody> Table Row: <tr></tr> Table Cell: <td></td> Table Spacing & Padding Set Table Cell Spacing: <table cellspacing="1"> Set Table Cell Padding: <table cellpadding="1"> Set Table Width: <table width=“Insert Pixel Width Or Page Width Percentage”> Table Alignment Set Left Cell Alignment: <td align="left"> Set Right Cell Alignment: <td align=“right”> Set Center Cell Alignment: <td align=“center”> Adjust Top Vertical Cell Alignment: <td valign="top"> Adjust Middle Vertical Cell Alignment: <td valign=“middle”> Adjust Bottom Vertical Cell Alignment: <td valign=“bottom”>
