<i>The different icons</i>

<img src="doc/img/camera.png" width="44" height="33" alt="editor" align="left" style="padding-bottom: 20px;"> This symbol is used to upload a picture from your computer. If you only want to add an adress (url), you can also use the "tree" icon at the upper part of the editor. After selecting an image, you'll see a thumbnail in the editor.
<p style="clear:both;"></p>

<img src="doc/img/paper_clip.png" width="44" height="33" alt="paper_clip" align="left"> This symbol is used to add files from your computer. There'll be no preview of the content.
<p style="clear:both;"></p>

<img src="doc/img/chain.png" width="44" height="33" alt="chain" align="left"> This symbol is used to add a web address (url). You'll see a short preview of the website.
<p style="clear:both;"></p>

<img src="doc/img/video.png" width="44" height="33" alt="video" align="left"> This symbol is used to add a web address (url) of a video file. You'll see a small preview of the video.

<img src="doc/img/mic.png" width="44" height="33" alt="mic" align="left"> This symbol is used to add a web address (url) of an audio file. You'll see a player in your completed post.
<p style="clear:both;"></p>

<img src="doc/img/globe.png" width="44" height="33" alt="globe" align="left"> This symbol is used to add your geographic location. This location will be added into a Google Maps search. That's why a note like "New York" or "10004" is already enough.
