So I've been reading a lot of posts, and a lot of people seem to have trouble with HTML. So, I decided to post a thread where people can ask questions about HTML and I can try to answer the questions you guys ask. So I'm going to explain some stuff right off. And remember you can do more than one HTML thing at once.REMEMBER TO REPLACE ( AND ) WITH < AND >!

Divisions:

You can have a few kinds of divisions.

1. (div)This is a medium break.

2.(p) This is a little break.

3.(br) This is a medium break.

You can do doubles to make a bigger break.

Bold and such:

To do bold, you do (b) and then text. To close the bold, you do (/b). (b)Your text here(/b) Example

To underline something, do the same as bold except replace the "b"s with "u"s. (u)Your text here(/u) Example

To italicize something, do the same as bold except replace the "b"s with "i"s. (i)Your text here(/i)Example

COLORED TEXT:To color text, just do:

(FONT COLOR="color code here")Your text here(/font)

Some common color codes are:

Blue: 0000FF

Red: FF0000

Bright Green: 00FF00

Purple: 800080

Brown: 8000080

Yellow: FFFF00

Bright Blue: 00FFFF

Dark Green:008000

Pink:FF00FF

Orange:FFA500
Those should b enough to start with. You can ask me for another color and I can try to find a color code that will work. They don't have to be all letters and numbers to work, though. Remember that.

Marquee

So. These codes are for making text move across the screen. I will only give you a simple kind of it, though. Moderator Brian's post on the General Discussion board will help you too--TwinkToes87 responded to it with a lot of kinds of marquee.
The code for marquee is:

(marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" scrollamount="5")Your text here(/marquee)
Hi!
You can do things to scrolling marquee, too. And you can change the speed, too. The "scrollamount" is the speed. "1" is slow, versus "10" is fast. You can have the direction be "right" or "left".

You can ask me about other things too, because I know more. I just don't want to take the trouble to show it.

• <table> will start the table. Remember to close the table with </table> after you are done with it. You should put a border element in so it looks like this:<table border="1"> and then you will have borders. If you don't, it will look the same, just no lines in between the cells or rows.
• <tr> starts a new row. Remember to close the row after you are done! (This is done with </table>.) I cannot stress anymore the importance of closing tags.
• <td> starts a new cell. Close it with </td>.

This is done with the "a href" element. Just put:

<a href="url"> text here </a>. For example, here's a link to the STACKS home page:
The STACKS home page
Inside the <a> tag, be sure to say what your link goes to. Users tend to visit a post and then immediately click on the link without reading it. A note: The mods will only allow links to pages on the Stacks, so be sure to keep that in mind. And you're not allowed to mention names of other websites, so you have to make sure of that, too. (You can't say it's to one of your posts and then link to some other site, they're smarter than that.)
