Markup languages

Know the markup languages accepted by HyperFluxCMS

You can write, format, and decorate your posts using up to three different types of markup languages: HTML, HyperCode, and HyperLite. Learn more about this.

For writing short articles for your site, you can use plain text. But for longer posts, a bunch of plain text makes the text tiring and boring. Instead, it is better to format and decorate the text with images, headings, links, tables, etc.

HyperFluxCMS supports three markup languages: HTML, HyperCode, and HyperLite.

You can use zero, one, two, or even all three languages in the same post, taking full advantage of each one.

• HTML: extremely powerful; compatible with various WYSIWYG editors, text editors like MS Office/Word, but a bit complicated, tedious to edit by hand, and visually heavy for the human editor.
• HyperCode: inspired by HTML and other markup languages. Slightly more limited than HTML, but still powerful. Much simpler to edit and use.
• HyperLite: inspired by super simple markup languages. Slightly more limited than HyperCode and HTML, but still sufficient for most applications. Extremely simple to use and visually light.

HTML

HTML is a language that needs no introduction.

Created over 30 years ago, mature and yet still receives updates from time to time. It is the standard language of every website on the Web.

There are several applications than can be used to create and edit pages using HTML, including the famous Microsoft Word and Corel Draw. There are editors where you simply drag and drop blocks. There are 100% Web-based editors that you don't even need to install.

Another advantage of HTML is its wide usage. Every web designer knows at least the basics of the language, and any web design course teaches it.

Therefore, this site does not go into details about the language. There are many better sources to learn the language.

But if you intend to use it in HyperFluxCMS, or create posts by pasting code from pages written in this language, it is important to know some particularities about using HTML in HyperFluxCMS.

See Using HTML to understand the subject before using this language.

HyperCode

The HyperCode Language is the original and recommended hypertext markup language for posts written and published in HyperFluxCMS.

It was developed to be powerful, covering the needs of at least 95% of sites, while being much simpler than HTML.

HyperCode is a language inspired by other traditional markup languages such as HTML, BBCode, MarkDown, MediaWiki, and WhatsApp.

HyperCode allows, in addition to formatting text, inserting images, tables, links, audio, video, and various other elements into your posts, without requiring prior knowledge of HTML.

Example of HyperCode code:

This is bold text.

It was developed to be powerful, covering the needs of at least 80% of sites, while being simpler than HyperCode and much simpler than HTML.

HyperLite is a language inspired by other traditional markup languages such as MarkDown, MediaWiki, and WhatsApp.

HyperLite allows formatting text with italics, bold, highlighting, and much more. It also allows inserting links, images, and lists, among other features.
