HTML tags give blog authors much more control over how their posts will look, and this page shows how most of the basic tags have been styled in the theme you want to use.
Serendipity is tremendously powerful and users are able to select from plain text entry to a variety of wysiwyg editors for creating posts. If you choose plain text entry and want to use these tags, simply type the tags as you would normally and Serendipty will automagically format your post correctly.
