LJ Hook
OMG, fuck yes! I just found a Firefox addon called LJ Hook. The one thing I missed about LJ was the ability to use LJ Addon, which allowed you to wrap your text with an html tag with a single click. Unfortunately, the addon wasn't compatible with DW, so I was stuck typing in html tags manually. Or my personal shortcut was to use the autocorrect on MS Word.
First, download LJ Hook from here.
Then, you'll probably need to enable it to be compatible with Dreamwidth. Here's how you do that:
1. Sign into an LJ account
2. Click comment to any post/reply to any comment in any post, doesn't matter where.
3. Right-click inside the text window
4. Hover over the LJ Hook > Preferences > Clones Manager
5. Type dreamwidth.org into the text window and click "Enable." Then close.
Now you should be able to use LJ Hook for Dreamwidth.
To use LJ Hook for Dreamwidth, follow the steps above in a DW comment box. Click within the window, hover over LJ Hook. You'll see a list of common html tags (bold, italic, underline, etc...). The "Insert" menu will have others, like LJ Cut, LJ Username, etc.
However, there are some useful html tags that are not included. Such as the ever-helpful "small text" tag that most RPers use. But we can add them manually. Here's how to do that:
1. Right-click in comment box > LJ Hook > Custom > Manage Customs
2. Click "New Item."
3. Type a name and description for your custom html tag, and then type the code in the "code" box.
4. To make it wrap around selected text, type [selection] in between the tag. i.e. < small >[selection] (minus the spaces of course).
5. Do the same if you want it to apply the tag with text from your clipboard. Just replace the [selection] with [clipboard].
6. And then, to use the custom tag: Right-click in comment box > LJ Hook > Custom > your html tag.
7. Repeat for any additional html tags you may want to add.
I think that should be it. Now I should have an easier time roleplaying without messing up html tags, lol. XD
