Can someone give me some basic formating tips for HTML. I mean linebreaks,italics,bold, that sort of stuff. thanx

― anthony, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Basic tags:

Paragraph break: 
Line break: 
Bold text: text
Italics text: text
Website link (aka anchor tag): <A href="http://websiteURL">text that should be clicked on</A>
Email link: <A href="mailto:emailaddress">text that should be clicked on</A>

More detailed info can be found here.

I wonder if I can cheat and post in pretty COLOURS?

Hmmmm... how well have I remembered basic HTML, or will I look like a raving fool?

It's not that hard, even I mastered the (very) basics in a week. Believe me, that's something, computer coding (in all its forms) is something I'm not compatible with.

for people that don't know any of that stuff , try this - when you see stuff that makes you go , Oh how do you do that?, you click on VIEW & then down to SOURCE. then you can see the java or html stuff laid out there & you don't even have to understand how it works, if you wanna steal stuff just cut/paste/replace text.
i only found that out recently , i hope it's useful to the few people who know even less than i do.

Bye.
Simple example of an HTML document.
A simple example.
This is a simple HTML document. This is the first paragraph.
This is the second paragraph. This is a word in italics. This is a word in bold. Here is an inlined GIF image: myimage.gif.
This is the third paragraph. Here is a hypertext link from the word foo to a document called "subdir/myfile.html".

A second-level header.
Here is a section of text that should show up in a fixed-width font (as if it were a computer listing or a verse of poetry):

The cat in the hat fell to the ground and went splat.
This is a bulleted list with two items:

First item goes here.
Second item goes here.
This is the end of my example document.

― Menelaus Darcy, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

you can't see it, because it's referring to a local file on Jeff's computer. it needs to be uploaded to a website, and referred to with an 'http://...' style URL.

― m jemmeson, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Thanks. Kodanshi has just pointed this out to me in the ILM thread where I tried to use the image to pose a question. All I can say is this page is a bit misleading.

It was a music stave BTW, quite pretty on my screen.

― Jeff, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Note that the img tag is an HTML extension that is currently only understood by NCSA Mosaic and not by most other World Wide Web browsers

Arrrr, I remember when it were nowt but mosaic round here and multicoloured horizontal rules were all the rage.

― Ronan, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

three questions for those in the know:
1: does "font size" work like"point size" ie is size 4 smaller than size 10? is there a default size (presumably yes, in which, what is it?)
2: explain "cellspace"
3: explain "cellpadding"
(extra points for lucid brevity and fine penmanship)
― mark s, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

cell space and cell padding are to do with tables...cell padding affects how indented the table will be...er...I guess I can do tables when I have Dreamweaver or other web editor open. 0.1 of a point?

― gareth, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Weird - that's what I was testing. I knew geocities/web page ones taken over by Yahoo couldn't but I wasn't sure if that applied to photo album ones too. You're right that the one above doesn't work when I delete my cookies. BUT, the one of the Cameroon footballer does, even though its now in a folder that had exactly the same 'share with everyone' status. HANG ON A MINUTE! Now that one doesn't work either, despite the fact that Chris said it now was (following my changing the album setting from 'private' to 'share with everyone'). And it was working for me a minute ago, and post cookie-deletion. IT'S MESSING WITH MY MIND!

Who can explain Chris's and my experiences. And is that last sentence grammatical, and if not how do I make it so? Surely I don't have to say "The experiences of Chris and me?"

sounds like a local cache. no one else has rights to that image, but you still have it on your hd, so it isn't fetched afresh from site.
― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ah, OK. But how does that explain what happened to Chris where it let him view it as an embedded image if he'd pasted in the address previously?
Ronan, "the experiences of I"? Surely not?

I trust mark s. But it does sound weird, yes?
― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

The address has a question mark in it, suggesting that yahoo does a server-side query for it. Perhaps they don't work as links because of this (I don't know why), but once you've pasted them into the browser they're cached locally and then work afterwards?

― jel, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I REALLY want little anchor tags for each post. So the first post gets <a name="1"> the second post gets <a name="2"> etc. so that it's possible to link to specific posts instead of just the whole thread. The way it is now it's like a hyooge collection of 70 minute mix CDs with only one track on each one. Also, it would allow jel to actually link to the top :)
