The idea here is to write some HTML codes that can be viewed by selecting "View Source" in your browser or by having the example explained using plain text. I hope.

1. To see the source code, press "View" at the top of your browser.
2. Click on "Source"
You will then see the entire HTML code right before your eyes. Search the lines until you see this post. Study the way the HTML codes are used.

You can also use the Paragraph and Line Break tags.
"br" will place the next line of text underneath the preceding line.
"Paragraph" will place the next line as the beginning of the next paragraph.

John B.,
To bold your sentence or word you use an <, and a B, and then another >...before the sentence or word, and then after your sentence or word you close it with an <, /, another B, and then this >.,
If you want to Italic something you use an I instead of the B.

Target tag.
Here's how to make a link that will open on a different window while keeping the first window viewable:
<a href="http://www.fender.com" target="new">Fender Guitars </a>
Here's the link: Fender Guitars

I don't like HTML. I'm more of a quiet poster.

Whew! that's good. I'm glad I didn't post the flashing and scrolling tags! (I forgot how to do those.)

Does this work?

-- Gail (rothfarms@socket.net), February 03, 2005.

Cool!

-- Gail (rothfarms@socket.net), February 03, 2005.

Don't forget unordered lists:

Start with a <ul>

Then for each item in the list put <li> and </li> around it

When done, close the list with a </ul>

Of course that is really an ORDERED list, so if you substitute <ol> (and </ol>) for the <ul> (and </ul>) you could create:

How about HTML anchors? Haven't we all posted a long response, where the first 3/4s is a rehash for one person who just doesn't get it, then the rest is useful and new? I'd love to be able to write:
Everyone who has been following along can skip down past the explanation up to this point, Pat, I hope the following makes the current state more obvious to you.
At the top of this comment I've added <a name="pat1">
Once I've posted this, and a few others have added other content, we can see if that will work.

-- Pat Thompson (pat.thompson.45@gmail.com), February 04, 2005.

Good job Luke in your first attempt, but you reveresed the <ul> and <li> in your second attempt.
There actually IS some logic to those strings, I should have inlucded that in my first posting to help people remember:

Unordered list starts with a 'U' hence <ul>

Ordered list starts with an 'O' hence <ol>

List Item is 'L' 'I' hence <li>

I tried posting in different colors, but the forum prevents that type of HTML from working - I got a message telling me certain types have been disallowed for readability purposes.

Here is a 'span' tag with #ffff00 being yellow. I'll search for the text color from previous threads. David used to use multiple colored posts.:

Interesting. I tried it using the "font color" HTML command and they blocked it.
Glad to see there's another way to skin the cat.

Yup, you can't change the text with the 'font' tag, but you can with the <h3> tag

Nice!
I've been wanting to provide links to specific sections of outside web pages. I just haven't had the time to find the tags to do such a task. I'm sure it can be done.
