<MARQUEE> Hey Charles, look at this!! </MARQUEE>
HTML - HyperText Markup Language - isn't hard. You can find lists of HTML tags in lots of places. One of the most exhaustive lists can be found at <U>The Bare Bones Guide to HTML</U>. (I like my links underlined, don't you?)
The biggest trick is figuring out which codes work in The Grumble. Sometimes you have to just try them and see what happens. Now that we can edit 'til the cows come home, you can experiment all you want without looking like a dope. Expect to see frequent changes to this message as I experiment a little myself.
Here are the tags I'm aware of that work. If you know about others, feel free to add them to the list. And to see what the HTML tags look like, click on quote button ("") so you can see the post as I am writing it.
You already know about bold and italics which work just like bold and italics in UBB. Did you know you could also do <u>underline</u> and <s>strikeout</s>? Or you can do a subscript: H<SUB>2</SUB>O or a superscript: $45/ft<SUP>2</SUP>
Maybe, instead of having an image appear wherever it feels like:
you'd really like to have it centered: <CENTER>
</CENTER>
You can force a Line Break (carriage return).
Sometmes it's nice to have a horizontal divider line (or rule.)This is one of the few HTML tags that doesn't work in pairs:
<HR>
There are tags for special characters like © and ®. For a complete list of special characters see <U>Special HTML characters</U>. Use the ISO code for the ? in the format: &#?; You never know when you'll be talking to the Diva and need a ¿
You can change <font color =red>the font color</font> and/or the <font size =7>font size</font>. The font size can be set from 1-7. I think 3 is the normal Grumble text size.
Many of these tags can be used in combination:
<MARQUEE><FONT SIZE =7><FONT COLOR =BLUE> Wow, would you look at that!</FONT></FONT></MARQUEE>
And finally, a warning: If many of us actually use these codes with any kind of regularity, we'll all go blind.
