 FORMAT HTML CORRECTLY, MAGGOT!!!
Greetings. Thought you'd just drop in . . . eh? Well don't sit down yet. Because any momentary lack of alertness, will almost surely result in a reply to some comment you've made, that you thought "innocent." And that reply, will make you wonder, "What the heck are they talking about? You said 'A,' and they jumped all over you for saying 'B,' which you certainly did not say!" Momma! So now that we've dispensed with the non-conflicted and centered state of your mind . . . Recruits! Welcome to HTML Bootcamp!The tennis racquets, golf clubs, and self-esteem, which you brought here, will be shipped out ASAP! I recommend the movie, The D.I.starring Jack Webb, because your .. toes .. will .. be .. stepped .. on! But you will learn to survive . . . and at all hours of the day and evening. And you will become proud to wear the the title by which members of this force of veteran freedom fighters is known: Freepers. "That is all." ( Psssst... You might check this out: The Flow of Cash ... and Rights ) 30 Posted on 03/08/2000 18:45:42 PST by First_Salute Line Break: <br> New Paragraph: <p> This is what happens. As far as the basics, that's all you "need" to know.
Bold "on" = <b> Bold "off "= </b> The rest work the same way Italic: <i></i> Underline: <u></u> Strikeout: <s></s> Center: <center></center> Nothing to it right? Font Size: <font size="?"></font> (?=font sizes; 1-7) Font Color: <font color="#??????"></font> (??????=color) To: michigander You can also use colors in English! Font Color: <font color="??????"></font> Thanks brityank! Click here for a all(?) the color "English" names and "#" codes.
Select Font: <font face="?"></font> (?=font) These rquire you to enter a reference address (URL) between the " and ". How to post an image: <img src="?" height="" width=""> (?=the URL of the picture) Be sure to add the height and width sizes if at all possible. It allows the threads to load more efficiently. About now you may be wondering. How do I find the picture address, height, and width? Some pointers on formatting images: As an example, the "China Spy Guide" graphic on FreeRepublic contains this address: http://www.freerepublic.com/images/prcexports.jpg In order to place it on a Reply page, I would normally center the image, and add a caption underneath:
<P> The above HTML shows up as:
 China Spy Guide Thanks Cultural Jihad! Links are a 2 step process. Where you want to go and something for the pointer to "click" on.
How did I do this? Folks, if you want to do what Michigander has done - making an HTML command *appear* instead of being acted upon by the browser, there's one more trick. Instead of typing < type the ampersand(&) pound(#) and 60. To make > appear, type ampersand pound 62 (no spaces anywhere). In between, you put the HTML tag you want to appear on the screen. There may be another way to do the same thing, but this is the one I use. </clinton> Michael Thanks Wright is right! I use < for < and > for > because it's easy to remember "less than" and "greater than". ( And to get those to view on screen, I had to use &lt; and &gt; -- don't forget the semicolons!) Thanks Willie Green How to "Copy and Paste" text. Do this by pressing DOWN the left click on ther mouse and HOLDING IT DOWN while you drag it over the portion to be copied. You will see it darken in. Then RIGHT CLICK on that darkened in portion. A menu will come up. LEFT CLICK on "copy" on that menu. Go to the site you want to paste the copied part onto. (for example free republic "reply"). RIGHT CLICK AT THAT SPOT. A menu will come up. LEFT CLICK on "paste" on that menu. The copied portion will appear. Thanks Joe Montana! Another quick way to get the HTML codes is to go and "View Source" -- in Netscape it's on the top, or you can right-click on the page with the mouse. If you're in a Frame, select "View Frame". You can then either learn how it's done, or highlight the HTML you want, then hit Control-c to place on you're clipboard; go to where you want it inserted, and after positioning the cursor, do a Control-v to paste it in place. Or you can right-click the mouse, and those selections are there. Remember to Preview and check the codes are working and are all </closed>. Thanks again brityank!! With the recent changes at FR, any open HTML tags will be automatically closed at the end of every reply or post. Here is a list of the HTML tags that are available for use within the forum. What do Bump, Ping, Bttt, ROTFL, LOL, VRWC and all those other terms and acronyms I see used here mean? Previous Threads:
Finally, a few words from Mr. Robinson: Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. Try to remember that last sentence and don't take things too personally.
