06 Dec 00 - 01:46 AM (#352220) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: Joe Offer Well, Carol, there are some fancy ways of doing it, but I usually use <blockquote> </blockquote> for indenting |

06 Dec 00 - 05:02 PM (#352586) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: NightWing I've wanted to ask these questions, but now I've got a place to just try and see. So, do the following HTML tags work in here?
<TT>
The teletype tag shows up as a monospaced font.
The <HR> tag makes a horizontal rule. This one should be centered and 3/4 of the width of the browser screen.
How about the <TABLE> tag? (Part of a song posted elsewhere)
And what about the <PRE> tag? <PRE> tells the browser to pay attention to spacing and typed hard returns, instead of ignoring them like it usually does.
This line should be right against the left margin. This one is two spaces to the right. And this one is four. Sometimes the <PRE> tag requires actually typing in the line break tag (<BR>). This one has them; the one before didn't.
This line should be right against the left margin. So, let's enter this and see how it looks.

06 Dec 00 - 05:05 PM (#352588) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: NightWing Cool-O! Somehow though, I suspect the lyric harvesters would probably prefer that people didn't use <TABLE> for lyrics, even long ones.

06 Dec 00 - 05:15 PM (#352595) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: Joe Offer You're darn right about using tables for posting lyrics, NightWing. I just copy-pasted your table into Word, and it makes a big mess when you try to convert it to a text file. Looks pretty when you post it here, but it's a nightmare to harvest. -Joe- |
06 Dec 00 - 05:38 PM (#352608) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: Jon Freeman Pretty good NightWing, I'm pretty sure that Joe and the JoeClones award you 100% for your HTML (even though the lyric harvesters would not appreciate tables for lyrics). I wish I was that accurate with the stuff! Jon |
06 Dec 00 - 06:08 PM (#352625) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: NightWing Joe, I had assumed that copying and pasting from the page source might be workable, but when I looked at it just now, it was still a mess. I could write a macro that would pull it out pretty easily, but (obviously) it's a lot neater and cleaner to not bother with the damn table. If I use it again, I just won't use it for lyrics. Jon, You don't seriously think I simply typed that table in, do you? *L* I had it in an HTML file on my desktop and was able to test it to be sure it looked the way I wanted it to. Then I simply copied and pasted from Notepad into the Message field and clicked "Submit". Yeah, I'm pretty good at HTML *blush*, but I would NEVER have tried submitting something like that if I hadn't tried it out locally first.

06 Dec 00 - 06:17 PM (#352636) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: Snuffy It doesn't always work, though. A while ago I posted something here using <PRE> tags to get a fancy layout. Tested it on IE and Netscape and it looked perfect. But you have to put the <BR> tags in, or the Mudcat servers just ignore all your PRE linebreaks. Was I blushing! Wassail! V |

07 Dec 00 - 02:26 AM (#352914) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: CarolC I don't understand how it works. |
07 Dec 00 - 03:31 AM (#352919) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: MudGuard Jon, it's not a problem of HTML tables, Word makes a mess of pretty much everything you copy into it... ;-) CarolC, if you specify more exactly what you don't understand, we might be able to explain. But it is very hard to explain complete HTML. MudGuard |
07 Dec 00 - 04:17 AM (#352924) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: CarolC Sorry. I don't understand how to use the place I ended up in when I clicked on Bill D's link. Carol |
07 Dec 00 - 06:06 AM (#352945) Subject: RE: HTML Practice Thread From: MudGuard It is quite easy to use: type in some text. When you want some (e.g.) bold text, click on the bold button and type the text to be bold between the <b> and the </b> tags. Similarly for italic. If you want to insert a link, click on link and replace the "www.somewhere.com" with the real url. Same for an image. if you click "Preview" a small window will be opened which shows how your text will appear. BR inserts a linebreak. If you click on "Reset", all your text will be cleared. You can also use html tags which are not offered by the buttons, they will still show up in the preview. If you are finished (if the preview looks like you want it), you can select (highlight) your text and copy and paste it into the textbox for answering (or creating) a posting. HTH, MudGuard |

I notice that where I had posted the ZOO song with HTML for centering, there is now a BIG honking list of instrument related links. Anybody got any idea about how that happened? Carol |
