Is there a way to format an email address included in the AUTHORDETAIL section of a file being prepared for Forge (or even in a book by using raw HTML)? Is it something like href=name@name.com?
How to put link to email address in Forge headers

Here is an Authordetail from one of my modules. IT has both an e-mail address and a URL. I hope this helps:

Thanks, Mike! Can you also tell me what the "<br>" at the end mean? I've been using the <p> and </a> that I saw in the help section, assuming that the <p> has to be at the beginning of a line and the </a> at the end.

HTML does not recognize line formatting, hence the need for "tags"
the <br> is a simple line break. If used at the end of a typed line, what follows will be printed on the next line. You can put it at the beginning of a blank line and you will get that effect, a blank line in your page. Use of multiple <br> tages will go down that many lines.
The <p> is a paragraph break. When used at the end of a typed line it will do the same as <br>, but will automatically enter a blank line as well, therefore, separating paragraphs.
These can also be used at the beginning of a line or in the middle, depending on where you want the break to happen.
Hope this helps

</a> closes an anchor or link, not a paragraph.
Paragraphs can be optionally closed by </p>. Closing paragraphs is good form but not strictly necessary.
If you want to be able to format your Forge input entries, you should probably do a Google search for "HTML tutorial" for the basics. Forge treats each Commentary or Book entry as a distinct HTML document. Bible verses are different and need to be plain text only.
