I would like to add for instance, like to input * and have it print

So are you saying you want a quicktag in the admin area? To have it in the comments would require the install of the quicktags comments plugin. * If that’s the case, send Podz a can of SKOL or some tea for this excellent guide: * [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/quicktags/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/quicktags/) * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198337) * Tea please 🙂 (and some jaffa cakes !) * [jinsan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jinsan/) * (@jinsan) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198338) * wonder if they have jaffa cakes outside of here? * Thread Starter [public_radio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/public_radio/) * (@public_radio) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198361) * sorry, I thought it might be unclear. WordPress seems to refer to two different things as quicktags: the javascript buttons that insert html code, and the comment tags like ‘more’ that then output html in your post. * I know how to add javascript quicktags, but i’m wondering how to add my own comment tags that then spit output into the post, like the ‘more’ tag or the ‘exhibit’ comment tag, like the exhibit plugin uses. also, iimage gallery uses its own defined and tags, which then output html div tags in the post. * does that make sense? * [jinsan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jinsan/) * (@jinsan) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198362) * the way to add the more tag is by clicking more or adding the more tag manually. * So add the quicktags as to the javascript file, in which you can add things like as a button, and you woudl slect it and it would enter the code within the post. * Again when you say comments that confuses the monkey out of me. Quicktags can be used in comments and posts. In the comments you wouldn’t have More as a quicktag, although I guess it culd be added, but seems a little silly. * [Lorelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorelle/) * (@lorelle) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198366) * In the [article on customizing the Read More tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More), it doesn’t go into great detail about the html you can add to the `read` tag, but I’m sure you can add background images and other details. If you want the same graphic on every “read more” statement, then just set your CSS to feature a background image in the style. * If you want a different image for every usage, that’s more complicated. According to the [template tag information](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content), the tag’s usage is pretty limited and one dimensional, in a way. Maybe someone has a plugin that improves this? * Thread Starter [public_radio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/public_radio/) * (@public_radio) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198369) * i understand that. however, with the more tag, you input and it outputs: *

It makes sense though, what i’m asking? * [jinsan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jinsan/) * (@jinsan) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198373) * ah that makes more sense – well, there are plugins I believe that do this sort of thing and allow the adding of custom tags. I can’t remember the name sadly, but this might do somethign similar until someone remembers what it is: * [http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/30/plugin-get-custom/](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/30/plugin-get-custom/) * [ColdForged](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coldforged/) * (@coldforged) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198374) * Sounds like you need to write a plugin and use an `add_filter()` on `the_content`. Base it on code in the `wp-includes/template-functions-post.php` file in the ` get_the_content()` function which is the one that processes the `` and `` tags. * [jinsan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jinsan/) * (@jinsan) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198375) * wouldn’t textile or something similar allow the addition of custom filters? * Thread Starter [public_radio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/public_radio/) * (@public_radio) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198376) * add_filter() you say? I’m not familiar with that function. where can i learn more about it? * Thread Starter [public_radio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/public_radio/) * (@public_radio) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-style-quicktags/#post-198377) * textile allows custom filters?
