Ok, I'm finally biting the bullet. I'm sure I'll be able to hear the howls of laughter, but I need someone to explain to me in a non-patronising way exactly how you lay out a story with the correct HTML. I've read all the docs on the site, but having never done it before I just want some assistance and if anyone is feeling very generous a short example. I will be eternally grateful for any help at all. Thanks in advance, K. |

HTML...quite tricky. But do-able.
HTML only need be used to make parts of the text BOLD, UNDERLINED, or ITLAICIZED, include an IMAGE, create a solid LINE across the screen, CENTER the text, and post a LINK.
The codes for these are:
<b> bold
<i> italicize
<u> underline
<img> image
<a> link
<center> center text
<hr> solid line
The codes should be included in the text directly before the word/area that will be affected by it. When wanting to end the bold/italicize, underline, image, link, or centering, use:
</b>
</i>
etc.
There is no end code for the solid line, just use <hr> on it's own line.
No spaces should be added on either side of the html codes - just leave the ones from the original text, and it should show up correctly spaced when posted. |

Thank you so much! So if I posted a story am I correct in thinking that I only need to use it to centre the title? Or is there a different way to leave a blank line than simply making it blank on notepad? Sorry for my ignorance, I just don't want to write an entire fic for it to look a mess when I submit. |

You will need the center opening and closing tag as Jackie told you. And for a blank line you could just enter a blank line and not have to put anything there. The story text box actually reads the blank lines. |

Sorted. I'm going to scurry off and work out my outline. Many thanks to both of you. |
