I have been looking at this too, it seems pretty straight forward...though 
this explanation helps. Is there a way of making it conditional though? I 
thought of using the type flag for that but would that add too much server 
overhead? ( like if &topic=2 then :h else nothing)

Also has anybody dealt much with putting images into the body of an 
article? I have mucked about with it some but don't feel like I have much 
control over placement...is there a better way or a trick that might help?

The full list of modifiers:

:h add value as html. This will escape " to &quot;, & to &amp;, < to &lt;,
   > to &gt;. Everything between [< and >] is added verbatim with the
   [< and >] dropped.
:p add value as php code. This will escape " to &quot;, & to &amp;, < to 
&lt;,
   > to &gt;.
:H add value as html. Everything is included verbatim.
:f add value as formatted text. The plain text input is formatted as HTML
   on the fly. Lines starting with '-' will be transformed to unnumbered
   lists, <p> will be added between paragraphs delimited by an empty line.
:F add value as formatted text. The plain text input is formatted as HTML
   on the fly. Lines starting with '-' will be transformed to unnumbered
   lists, <p> will be added between paragraphs delimited by an empty line.
   Additionally, lines after an empty line with less than 10 words are
   formatted as <h2>
:u add the value urlencoded, replacing non-safe URI characters with their
   %code equivalents.

Henri, did I get everything right? If so I'll move this to the manual.
