Text editing

Postby Sikakoira » Fri Sep 05, 2003 2:36 pm

Could somebody tell me how you make those rolling, colourful, bolded or italic texts.

Some sort of index about all the possible text editing ways would be nice :D

u just need some simple tags (like here..: BBCode) but u need html tags.

just a simple sample:

for italic words: <i>an italic word</i>
bold: <b>bold</b>

for colored words or letters u must use the font tag:

<font color="#FF0000">red words</font>

for color u could use words: like blue or green (i dunno al the reserved words) or u could use RGB values in hexadecimal format.
RGB stands for Red-Green-Blue.
use a value between 00 and 255 but write it in hex value FF => 255
for example: this is
CCCCCC => lightgrey,
00FF00 => green,
FFFFFF => white
000000 is black :)

just try it .

if u want marquee u could use the marquee tag, but this tag is obsolete and a m$ only tag (first used with m$-exploder 3.0?).

if u want underline just use: <u>underline</u>
u could cominate tags like <b>bold and <u>underline</u></b>

there are a lot of other tags, but these are the most simple and (4 now) common..

hope this post is useful 4 u :)

All the things done on the notes are done using HTML, Jos would have to give a HTML lesson to tell us what all we could do with the text. To really know what you can do with notes you need to learn HTML, perssonally I learned what I know from webmonkey.com, they have cheat sheets you can print out that are extremly useful while you are learning.

HTML lesson

Postby g1asswa1ker » Sat Sep 27, 2003 2:43 pm

PM me with your email address and I will send you a quick cheat sheet of HTML.
Somehow you strayed and lost your way,
and now there'll be no time to play,
no time for joy,
no time for friends
- not even time to make amends.
You are too naïve if you do believe life is innocent laughter and fun.

HTML is not at all difficult. It does look really pretty though. I learned from angelfire back in the day when I was about 9 so you should be able to learn it.

I never used all that hexidermal-itosis ... whatever thing. I just write the color it's a lot easier. You can come up with tons of colors. Cyan, Aqua, ect. if you want to steer away from the classic red and blue.

Merquee (probably didn't sleep that right) is always fun to use also it makes the text scroll across the screen.

However, I think scrolling marquee only works on IE. So, if you want to be a browser fascist, go right ahead :P But I think that there should be something done about colored titles changing the color of the entire events page. Is that because of a missing closing tag? Or is it a bug? I haven't checked it...and I can't now since the lag ate my minutes...stupid school connection. I need my own connection :P

It is a missing closing tag. Also could be considered a bug.
I used to forget all the time.
