Admin: Formatting Guidelines
1. How to hide Spoilers
You can do this in several ways but two of the most used are LJ-cuts and white-lineing/black-lineing the text. Let's explain how do do it!
a - LJ-Cuts
If you want to hide your spoilers by using a lj-cut you need to use the following code:
YOUR SPOILERS HERE
You'd obviously need to replace the YOUR SPOILERS HERE text by the actual text pointing out the spoilers that would appear in your sign-up/completed gift.
b - White/black-lineing
By using this expression we are referring to the act of making a sentence unreadable by using the same color for the text and the background and thus making it only readable by high-lining it. The most common colors used for this "trick" tend to be white or black so we'll provide you with the B/W variations of the html code:
White-line:
SPOILER TEXT
Black-line:
SPOILER TEXT
Once again, replace the generic SPOILER TEXT text with your actual spoilers.
2. Basic Story formatting
Although it's not mandatory, the mods would be eternally grateful if before submitting your completed fanfiction, you'd take the time to format it in accordance of LJ-formatting restrictions, which are based on HTML. The safest way to make sure your story will look exactly as you want it to look is by using the appropriate HTML tags for text formats like: italics, bold and underlined
You just need to replace the generic WORD by the word you want formatted
