Basic HTML Tags for Forum

Here are some basic HTML tag you could use in the forum. With all commands, it need to start with "<TAG>" and end with "</TAG>"

For example if you wand to BOLD you would need to encapsulate the world BOLD between those two tags mentioned above. Replace the word TAG with the letter "B".

If you want insert an image you would need to have the image URL address and encapsulate it between the "IMG SRC=http://...."

For example use the "<" then add IMG SRC=http://www.mydomain.com/test.jpg and then end it with the "> will insert the image

If you want to link or create a clicky, similar to the image above you would do a "<" and add "a href=http://www.mydomain.com" (minus the "") and then close it with ">". Then type the text you want to surround the reference tag with, then close it with "< />"

Let me know if you have questions.

Okay, it's time to start making our text appear in different ways. Let's start by giving you some tags to work with: &lt;B>&lt;/B> This is the tag for bold text. Example: &lt;B>Howdy&lt;/B> This will show up on your page like this: Howdy Here are a few more to start working with: &lt;U>&lt;/U> Underline text &lt;U>Underline Me!&lt;/U> Underline Me! &lt;I>&lt;/I> Italics &lt;I>Isn't this fun?&lt;/I> Isn't this fun? &lt;STRIKE>&lt;/STRIKE> &lt;STRIKE>You're Out!&lt;/STRIKE> <STRIKE>You're Out!</STRIKE><STRIKE></STRIKE> &lt;CENTER>&lt;/CENTER> &lt;CENTER>This centers text on the page&lt;/CENTER> This centers text on the page Having fun yet? You can also use more than one tag at a time. Let's say you wanted something in bold and italics. To do this, just place both opening tags before the text.....and remember to close both tags afterwards....like this: &lt;B>&lt;I>I am bold AND Italic, which makes me cool!&lt;/I>&lt;/B> This will show up like this: I am bold AND Italic, which makes me cool! Does the order of the tags make a difference? In this case, it wouldn't matter which way you opened and closed the tags. However, working from inside out will help you see your code better, and will help when the order does matter! (such as placing the &lt;/HTML> tag before the &lt;/BODY> tag). Here's another way to look at working inside out. I could write the HTML this way: &lt;B> &lt;I> I am bold AND Italic, which makes me cool! &lt;/I> &lt;/B> This could get rather tedious. All you need to remember is that the text you have written is affected by every tag before it that has not been closed. The effect ends when each one of those tags is closed by it's closing tag. So lets try three things: Bold, Italic, and underline! &lt;B>&lt;I>&lt;U>Would you stop tagging me!&lt;/B>&lt;/I>&lt;/U> This will give us: [p] [B][I][U]Would you stop tagging me![/U][/I][/B] [p] But this: [p] &lt;U>&lt;I>&lt;B>Would you stop&lt;/B>&lt;/I>tagging me!&lt;/U> [p] would give us this! [p] [B][I][U]Would you stop[/U][/I][/B] [U]tagging me![/U] [p] As you can see, the bold and italics were closed before the word "tagging"....but the underline remained open until the end of the exclamation. This caused the "tagging me!" portion to be underlined, while not being affected by the bold or italics tags! [p] Now let's use the center tag from above. Since the default alignment of everything is to the left, it's nice to have a way to place things in the center of the page. So let's do just that. Use the &lt;CENTER> tag. Anything you place between the &lt;CENTER> and &lt;/CENTER> tags will be centered on the page. Here is an example: [p] &lt;CENTER>I'm in the middle!&lt;/CENTER> [p] This will give us the following: [p] [div='align=center']I'm in the middle![/div] [p] You can also use it with one or more of the other tags above, like this: [p] &lt;CENTER>&lt;B>&lt;I>Look at me now!&lt;/I>&lt;/B>&lt;/CENTER> [p] [div='align=center'][B][I]Look at me now![/I][/B][/div][/p][/p][/p][/p][/p][/p][/p][/p][/p][/p][/p][/p][/p]
