USING HTML CODE IN
YOUR POSTS
Part 1: Simple HTMLCoding
You may use a limited number of simple html tags, such as:
- <i>
which will give you italics
- <b>
which will give you bold text
One rule: You must remember to close the tags with </i>
or </b>
In other words:
- you sandwich your italic
text
between the opening tag <i>
and the closing tag </i>
- you sandwich your bold
text
between the opening tag <b>
and the closing tag </b>.
So if you type something like this:
<b>One
rule:</b> you <i>must</i>
remember to <b>close</b> the html tags!
you get this result:
One rule: You must remember to close the html tags!
Part 2: More HTML Coding - List tags
We have also enabled the use of list tags, for both ordered and unordered lists.
Here's how:
Please read carefully and USE WITH CARE!
- You start by declaring the start of a list, using either of the following:
- <ul>
for an unordered list, or
- <ol>
for an ordered list
- You precede each list item with this tag:
<li>
- You don't need to close the list item tag:
<li> tag
with a </li>
tag
- But you must declare the end of the list by closing the list tag:
- if you used
<ul>
you close it with a corresponding
</ul>
tag
- if you used
<ol>
you close it with a corresponding
</ol>
tag
Gettit? So if you type the following:
<b>There
are <i>three</i> types of html tags available:</b>
<ul>
<li>italics
<li>bold
<li>list
</ul>
this is the result:
There are three types
of tags available:
What about ordered lists?
It's just another word for a numbered list.
If you type the following, using <ol>
instead if <ul>
:
<b>There
are <i>three</i> types of tags available:</b>
<ol>
<li>italics tags
<li>bold tags
<li>list tags
</ol>
this is what you get:
There are three types
of tags available:
- italics tags
- bold tags
- italic tags
Hope you got all that! Now, to summarize everything in part 1 and 2 above, if you type the following:
<b>There
are <i>two</i> types of pets I like:</b>
<ol>
<li><i>furry</i> animals
<ul>
<li>cats
<li>dogs
</ul>
<li><i>quiet</i> animals
<ul>
<li>goldfish
<li>turtles
</ul>
</ol>
My favorite is probably <i><b>cats</b></i>!
should result in:
There are two types of pets I like:
- furry animals
- quiet animals
My favorite is probably cats!
Hope you got that! Please USE WITH CARE!
