<prs> The word you put in the middle is usually "Privacy" so the tag looks like this <prs>Privacy</prs> This puts the phrase "Your answer to this question may randomly and privately be shown to others (only identified with a date, no personal info)" It is typically placed on the bottom of a page where their answers may be randomly displayed on the next page.
<que> Brings up the "QUESTION" heading followed by the text you place

<res> Similar format to <com>. It is used to display the specific compared response to a drop down menu (selection) question. The format is three numbers connected with a dot.
