Using HTML In Gawker Comments

Format your comments with the wonders of html tags — just remember to close them. Available tags for use on Gawker comments are italics and bold. You can add a picture to the text of your comment using the tag. You can also include a regular YouTube link anywhere in the body of a comment to embed a clip and generate a special "Watch Video" thumbnail.

Even with the demise of print journalism and the so-called end of journalist watering holes, writers still drink quite a bit.

No need to place in the embed code, the URL will do the trick. The feature is still in beta, so your feedback is appreciated. In the comments, obvs. Remember, knowing is half the battle...
