I know there's already a few threads about this sort of thing in the policy, but I notice that some lithers are having probs with the transition from UBB to HTML. So I thought I'd post this cheat-sheet here, to catch a bit more traffic.

The problem is, we can't use all the tags, and I don't know which ones we can and can't use.

I'm still waiting for a standard way to quote other people's text. The BLOCKQUOTE tag doesn't work. Bold? Italics?

do colors work?

no, colours don't work...

Well, it was more for things like links and pix, which are the ones I screw up most often. Italics and bold work.

Hmm. Nope, looks like you can't dicker with your text too much. Mind you, about the only thing I'd really want to use that currently don't work is the block quote thingy.

Bless your squid-like head, Mordant. Now I can once again italicize in peace.

For those of you still at a loss....

<b>Whatever you want in bold type</b>
Creates bold text
<i>Whatever you want in italics</i>
Creates italic text

<a href="http://www.whatever the URL of the website is">Whatever you're calling the link</a>
Makes a link

<img src="http://www.Whatever the URL of the image is">
Inserts an image in your post

NB: Remote linking bites another person's bandwidth, and in any case some sites don't let you to do this. If you don't have your own web space you can use a free image hosting service such as villagephotos.com

If your image is large, then you can make it fit on the page by inserting width="500" into the code, like this:-

<img src="http://www.Whatever the URL of the image is" width="500">

It's nifty, but you unless you've got some skeel with the wheel, it can take a while to find what you're looking for. I find something like this to be pretty handy.

Web Colours by Hue and Name

As opposed to Web Colours by Hue and Cry?

The one problem I had, as evidenced by my humiliating myself over the weekend was that the Webmonkey site didn't really make itclear for morons like myself where to put the text explaining what the site was in the URL. But I got there in the end...

Um, you can't actually use colours on here anyway. Unless I've missed something.

does this work? probably not

Well, you can't use colours on the board but it's still useful to have the codes to hand.

This might earn me cries of derision, but what are the codes for the emoticons again? I know , but that's the extent of my knowledge.

Nah, you're not- it was a good try. Crack's Smileys uses UBB code, and using my Ninja psionic powers I see that you tried replacing the square brackets with pointy ones, thusly:

<img>http://www.colute.net/cwm/contrib/owen/vader1.gif</img>

When what you needed to type was <img src="http://www.colute.net/cwm/contrib/owen/vader1.gif">

which would have given you

Thank-you everyone, even if some of you burn in hell for this...go knowing you've made at least one person on this plane of existence happy for a little while.

'Course if you use the Handspun page they give you the HTML code to cut'n'paste. Be cautios when remote linking smileys- the pages above are cool with it but some people get all shirty and replace thier graphics with a stroppy message (if you're lucky. If you're unlucky, it might be a porn pic or summat).

Bringing this back from the dead, can someone explain the 'linking to specific posts within a thread' thing, and can I use it to connect anywhere on someone else's document or does it only work if that person has previously set up some sort of marker when they were deisgning the page?

Permalinks to each post are in the link on the date and time stamp - if you cut and paste that as your hyperlink it'll go straight to the individual post rather than the top of the thread. It only works because it's been set up like that (but you can use permalinks with Blogger as well, there should be something on their site which tells you how to do it).
