Mini! HTML Tutorial!

Jul 16, 2010 16:19

All right! So: I keep getting asked questions on how to do some HTML stuff over at your_scribbles , and I'm happy to help. Thought I'd post this over at my journal, only because it's not really related to writing, though it does help with the comments, if you want to make them look pretty!



We'll start simple:

How do I bold text in a comment?

Text with the bold tag OR Text with the strong tag

Text with the bold tag will turn out like this.
Text with the strong tag will turn out like this.

And italics, then?

Text with the italics tag OR Text with the embellishment tag

Text with the italics tag will turn out like this.
Text with the embellishment tag will turn out like this.

Yeah, okay and underline?

Text with the underline tag

Text with the underline tag will turn out like this.

And if I want to strikeout my comment?

Text with the strikeout tag OR Text with the strike tag

Text with the strikeout tag will turn out like this.
Text with the strike tag will turn out like this.

Cool. How about if I wanna link text?

Text you want liked

Text you want linked will turn out like this.

And inserting an image?

How do you keep making the text big like this?

Text with the big tag

Text with the big tag turns out like this.

And Small?

Text with the small tag

Text with the small tag turns out like this

What about that thing where people link their username?

Or, if you want it to say something else:

flutttterby will turn out like this.
Or like this: flutttterby

Now, I'm no expert with HTML but I do know that the tags in this post will work on LJ comments. So, I hope it was helpful! If you're curious about how to do anything else, just comment and I'll add it :)
