The HTML Campfire

The HTML Campfire

Gather 'round one and all. New or old, it doesn't matter.
All that should matter is a willingness to have, what may or may not be considered, knowledge bestowed upon anyone willing to learn how in the world all this cool looking stuff happens 'round here.
Let's get started...


Line Break: <br>
When you type <br> at the end of a line of text
This is what happens.

New Paragraph: <p>
When you type <p> at the end of a line of text

This is what happens.

These you need to turn something "on" and "off".

Bold "on" = <b> Bold "off "= </b>
Typing in:
<b>Bold</b> no more bold
Looks like:
Bold no more bold

The rest work the same way

Italic: <i></i>
Italic

Underline: <u></u>
Underline

Strikeout: <s></s>
Strikeout

Center: <center></center>

Center

The recently popular, Superscript: <sup></sup>
th, st, rd

Subscript: <sub></sub>
th, st, rd

Nothing to it right?
Now these require you to enter what you want between the " and ".

Font Size: <font size="?"></font> (?=font sizes; 1-7)
1234567

Font Color: <font color="the color name"></font>
Black
White It's White, trust me it's there (highlight it with your pointer)
Red
Green
Blue
Cyan
Purple
Orange
Yellow
Brown

These rquire you to enter where you want to go between the " and ".

How to post a picture: <img src="?"> (?=the address of the picture)
In this case the picture address is: http://www.freerepublic.com/images/frlogo.gif (It's from the FR home page)
<img src="http://www.freerepublic.com/images/frlogo.gif"> =

Links are a 2 step process. Where you want to go and something for the pointer to "click" on.
Link Something: <a href="?">??</a> (?=the address of the page, ??=something to "click" on)
In this case the page address is: http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm (the FreeRepublic "home" page)
<a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm">(the FreeRepublic "home" page)</a> the </a> turns off the link. =
(the FreeRepublic "home" page) the </a> turns off the link.

or you just can use Outlook Express e-mail by doing this:

click on "create mail"

then with the new message box created click on "view"


then "source edit"

you will now notice 3 tabs at the bottom of the e mail.

"edit" "source" "preview"

copy and paste the article in the 'new message' e mail
once you do that click on "source" and viola, the html. code is done for you.

In case anyone cares, I have discovered a quick & relatively easy way to insert a link into a post.

First off, type up your post as you would like it to appear. Copy and paste the link into the "Your Reply" window on a line by itself. Skip down to the next line, and type a word that you know is spelled incorrectly. Hit the "Spell" button and accept the correction.

When you preview the post, the HTML for the link and line breaks will be automatically generated.

http://www.google.com

If you want to "pretty up" the link, replace the section after the first ">" and before the "</a>" with meaningful text such as:

Commie-loving search engine

I don't know who coded the spell checker to do this, but thanks whomever you are, wherever you are.

1. Click on view 2. make sure the source/edit thing has a check by it..if not, click on it 3. open up a new message 4. TYPE AWAY.. 5. After you have typed, look at the bottom of the screen for the tab "Source" click on it...you will automatically see you "message" converted FOR YOU into HTML. 6. Copy this...and paste it into your FR post... ~Add whatever you want...links will turn into links...cut and pasted pictures (not hotlinked of course) will automatically be right...and all of the other nifty formatting available will work AUTOMATICALLY!!!!
