Basic html Guide

This was posted at my site by one of our Mods....Koga......



So you are fustrated because you can't do HTML......Well cheer up Koga is here to make your day and teach you a thing or two about it.
First things first we need to cover the basics...... HTML tags will always have a opening tag and a closing tag.
The open ing tag is the tag the says what will happen and when the effect begins, i.e. bold, color change, italicized, glow effect, ect......
And the closing tag determines when the effect will stop. THere has to be a opening tag and closing tag.
You just can't have a opening tag without a closing tag or vice versa. And the HTML tag has to be enclosed in a greater than less than less than sign (< >).
So if you wanted to ceter your text it would look like this, < center > text here < /center >. The / in < /center > is the restricting tag and closes the action.

Ok, now for some more common stuff..... This will be the more common tags that you can use in HTML.
To italicize put < i > text here < / i >
To underline put < u > text here < / u >
To bold put < b > text here < / b >
To stike thru a word put < s > text here < / s >
To center text < center > text here < / center >
To align text right < right > text here < / right >
To align text left < left > text here < / left >
To display a image < img src="link.gif" >
To put a link into a word, i.e.-FAQ put < a href="" > Title < / a >
To display a image that links < a href="link">< / a >
To change the font color put < font color=what ever color you want > text here < / font >
To change font style put < font face="what ever font style you want"> text here < / font >
To change font size put < font size=what ever number you want 0-7> text here < / font >
I am going to regret this but to make your sig glow put < span style="filter:glow; width:100%" > Glowing Text < / span >
I am going to regret this also but to make one word glow put < font style="filter:glow" > Glowing text < / font >
To make your text or sig scroll put < marquee > text here < / marquee >

Now with the basic and most common tags noted, it is time i go thru step by step and show you how to put multiple tags together.
First we will go with font, To screw your font up and really let your personality show i.e. change font face, color, and size with one tag, you would
put < font size= 3 color= blue face= "comic sans ms" > text here < / font >
(note that for size you can use any number 0-7 and negative numbers 0- -7, yon also use any color you want and any font style you want)
Now that that has been established I will show you how to change your font while bolding it, italicizing it, and underlining it.....
To change font and bold it put < font >< b > text here < / b >< / font >
To change font and italicize it put < font >< i > text here < / i >< / font >
To change font and underline it put < font >< u > text here < / u >< / font >
To put all three together put < font >< u >< i >< b > text here < / b >< / i >< / u >< / font >

NOTE: that I put the closing tags in reverse order of the opening tags, THIS MUST BE DONE!!
NOTE: that font attributes means color, size, and face, it was to much to write out each one.

Ok now I will show you how to insert a link......The basic HTML link structure is < a href="link title" > text here < / a > , this may also be called a refrence link......
NOTE: I still have a closing tag......

Now here is a example < a href="http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/index.php?boardid=1841" > Pony's Paradise in alliance with Smokey_Locs_INC. < / a >

Now to add in font with a refrence link....< a href="link title" > text here < / font >< / a >
Here is a example < a href="http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/index.php?boardid=1841 >< font size= 3 color= blue face="comic sans ms"> Pony's Paradise in alliance with Smokey_Locs_INC. < / font >< / a >
NOTE: you can use any font attributes you want. And the font face (also known as the font style) has to be in quotation marks.

Now last but not least I will show you how to put a image in.....Putting in a image is easy, the basic HTML structure is < img src="link.gif" >
Here is a example.....< img src= "http://www.loveofanime.com/animated_gifs/angels_first_kiss9.gif" >

Well that covers the basic HTML that you will see and use on these boards.....I hope it helps......There will be a advanced one coming at a later date.......EnjoySo you are fustrated because you can't do HTML......Well cheer up Koga is here to make your day and teach you a thing or two about it.
