# SmiliesPlugin emoticons Smilies are common in e-mail messages and bulletin board posts. They are used to convey an emotion, such as a smile `:-)` :-) or a frown `:-(` :-( . This plugin automatically converts certain smilies to a nice small icon. [[More smilies...|Main/SmiliesPlugin]] [[See More Tips...|Main/TWikiTipsOfTheDay]] -- TWiki:Main.PaulineCheung - 29 Jan 2005
