Html code for beginners

Participant

Hi Everyone,

Once you understand “[HTML] code”, it is pretty simple; give it a try in a test topic … (Click Here)

For “bolden” what you do is this… [b] in here will be bolden [/b].

If you want to “underline”, do this… [u] in here will be underlined [/u]

If you want “italics”, do this… [i] in here will be italics [/i]

For “the color blue” what you do is… [color=blue] in here will be blue [/color]

or [color=green] or [color=red] or [color=brown]

Knowing these will make for better Posts!

God bless

Hello,
I used to be Astaria but my login got wiped.

Ed J, have you considered:

Code Sample

<hr>

to rule a line across the page.

Don't want to seem out of place but – aren't the HTML code things the same as clicking on those iB buttons above the edit box?

Hi Astari,

t8, the owner of the site said your first membership got caught in a spammer filter. He said you could try to register again. Or…………you could just stick with Astari if you want.

And the ib buttons only work when you apply them to the end of your text. If you want to go back and bold something within your text later, you'll need to do it the way Ed has showed.

peace and love,
mike

Hi Istari,

Most people are computer illiterate as I once was.
They wouldn't know how to go there or use what's there.
So I made this thread to try to help them a little in their learning.

Ed J,

That was good of you. It is also very clear. Excellent, then.

Mikeboll64, ok, I didn't know that's how it worked – could the website owner make the code appear where the cursor is? Would that make it easier to understand?
Or maybe, have an HTML editor instead of this flat text editor then people could see at once the effect of their editing…maybe?

Hi Everyone and especially Pierre, …Here is some more “HTML Code” for you.

If you want “A quote in a quote box“, here is what you do…

wrote:

in here will be a quote

Quote

looking like this

If you want “to change the size of the print“, what you do is this…

in here will be size # 7 …(sizes are 1-10)

In all “HTML Code” don't forget to end with… [/<– This symbol [/…] ]

NOTE: this –> [/…] <– is size number 10 out of 1-10 (immediately above), and is also using embolden

Hi Ed,

How do you get your gold url links to say “Click Here” instead of the actual url address?

And how do you load the actual YouTube screen to this site?

1) The link tag surrounds the linked text. So all you need to do is replace that text. Alternatively, when you click the link in the editor, you can then put the desired text in the part that asks “Enter the title for the Webpage”.

If you want to change the text later, then try an experiment, where you click the link button, put in the link, and then put the actual words “Replace text here” in the “Enter the title for the Webpage” part. Then look at the code that is created and overwrite the text that you typed in, i.e., “Replace text here” to the text that you want.

2) Youtube videos have an Embed option on each Youtube page. Once clicked, you can copy their code and paste it here.

I should point out that the code is not HTML but iB Code. What happens when you post is the iB code is converted to HTML.

Thanks t8,

But sometimes when I click the “http” button, it let's me put in the address and then a title. Other times, I get a message saying I must enter a url and title first…………but I see no place to enter them.

The code you get from Youtube is good to go. It is HTML.

You just paste it into your post (as with any HTML) and where you want.

Don't use any buttons for that. Buttons are for iB code only, and as mentioned before, when you make your post, iB code is converted into HTML.

iB code exists because it is easier to use than HTML for non-IT people.

Okay, I'm clicking “embed” on Youtube. I'm copying the code that gets displayed. And I'm pasting it in a “add reply”. What am I missing?

That is how you do it, but a further complication has arisen. Google has changed the code and it appears that it is not able to be posted in the forums. However, they still provide the old code. So you just need to click “Use old embed code” and then copy and paste the code.

The code will look something like this.

And it will produce this:
