FR does not recognize all HTML tags, only the basics. This allows for basic formatting, but limits the abilities to mess with things more drastically (otherwise I could embed Active-X, Javascript, etc., and play holy havoc with things if I desired).

I'm finding that certain html tags are not being recognized at FR. I started using an html editor for some simple markup, and it's font color tags and Div indent tags aren't working.
I tried using the [code] tag to show coding, but that didn't work either, so I'm substituting { and } for < and >.
Here is how the editor (Nvu, excellent freeware) would mark up a passage:
{div style="margin-left: 40px;"}{span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"}Then he answered and said to me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord of hosts.{/span}{br style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"} {br style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"} {/div}
Here's how that looks:
I see no indent and no coloring.
But this is how I must do it manually (I'm using Opera to post and view):
{blockquote}{font color="green"}Then he answered and said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.{br}
And here's how that looks:
Then he answered and said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.
When I make a file using Nvu's tags Opera displays them without problem, so I don't think the problem's there. Could it be nested Div tags? For some reason FR is preventing these tags from working.

..........giving up and cheating and using dots and crap
..........to gettuth thou the required indention thusly so.
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD A THUNK!
WHAT A DAINBRAMMAGED THING TO DO!
LOL. Sounds like a lot of my computing efforts over the last . . . what . . . since 1976--have had either a terminal or computer in my home!
Often had to concoct workarounds.
Makes sense, to a point. I've gotten around the prob by using a file as a template, so I don't have to write the tags each time. Thanks.
As this thread is quite dated, it may or may not accurately represent the current situation.
Maybe that's not clear, but it will become clearer if you do a "view source" on the page.
And be thou focused on the substance ahead of style lest ye be smited... (zotted)
Hey ! At least I got it to turn green for me!
No such file (give_legacy_article)
Yes, I follow you on that. But it's merely due to my choppy cut/paste job in posting this article. Even when the tags are complete the Div-style tags are not working here.
Apologies. Didn't even see a News/Chat designation when I posted. Will look for it next time.
The thread came up when I tried the link before posting.
Clicked on it three times after your reply and received the "No such file" message each time.
Clicked a fourth time and it came up again.
Go figure?
But I think BLUE is prettier. Now if we could just get the political maps this election to put the Commies in red and leave the PATRIOTS IN BLUE!!!
I'd be a lot happier!
How is this breaking news?
Close your tags! hahahaha...
