Thanks a lot for clarifying that.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to include an email address on a web page which can be clicked on thus opening the visitors default email client with the email address pre-filled. I also want to format (using bold, italics tags etc.) the body of the email. I can't use any server side scripts as I am using a CMS which does not allow me access to the server the site is hosed on. <br />
<br />
So is there any way of using HTML and/or Javascript to format the body of the email? I can use HTML to have linebreaks in the body of the email (as in the code fragment below) but when I add bold, italics tags etc. it does not seem to work. Any ideas?<br />

<pre><code id="code-293630">&lt;P&gt;Click &lt;A href=&quot;mailto:person@mailhost.com?SUBJECT=Centaur%20Telephone%20Directory&amp;amp;body=Dear%20User%0Ablah%0Ablah%0Ablah&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;

Formatting contents of mailto tag

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
