   3 <p>The chat module contains some features to make chatting a little nicer.</p>

   5 <dl>
   6 <dt><b>Smilies</b></dt>
   7 <dd>Any smiley faces (emoticons) that you can type elsewhere in Moodle
   8     can also be typed in here and they will be displayed correctly.  For example,  :-) = <img alt="smiley" src="pix/s/smiley.gif" />  </dd>
   9
  10 <dt><b>Links</b></dt>
  11 <dd>Internet addresses will be turned into links automatically.</dd>
  12
  13 <dt><b>Emoting</b></dt>
  14 <dd>You can start a line with "/me" or ":" to emote.  For example, if your name is Kim and you
  15     type ":laughs!" or "/me laughs!" then everyone will see "Kim laughs!"</dd>
  16
  17 <dt><b>Beeps</b></dt>
  18 <dd>You can send a sound to other people by hitting the "beep" link next to their name.  A useful
  19     shortcut to beep all the people in the chat at once is to type "beep all".</dd>
  20
  21 <dt><b>HTML</b></dt>
  22 <dd>If you know some HTML code, you can use it in your text to do things like insert images,
  23     play sounds or create different coloured and sized text.</dd>
