[wp-docs] Post formats

[Chip Bennett]

Indecent exposure, to be sure. We cannot have that! My attempt at
wordsmithing that 'graph:

Once a WordPress Theme has added support for Post Formats, the Edit Post
page displays a metabox with a radio-select list of the Post Format types
supported by the Theme. The user can then select the appropriate Post
Format type for the current post.


I also embellished a bit in the explanatory note regarding "Standard".
