Html Codes?

Smiley Roberts · Post by **Smiley Roberts** » 11 Aug 2000 10:26 am

Does anybody have a list of them? I know that
"u",is for underlining a word,& that "i" is for italics. Can anyone point me to a complete list of the others? Is there a website to go to?

Hello Smiley ,
Here's another site I found very useful when I put together our own little web-site , it also has some very good tutorials .
http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/

b0b , if you're reading this , the site is also re-designed and very soon to be driven by XML . He has a preview of the re-design ..
http://redesign.earthweb.com/dlink.index-jhtml.72.1014.-.0.jhtml

Disclaimer ... I don't actually know the first thing about XML , I just hope I can copy and paste it as good as HTML

Don't tell him any more!! Just stop for a minute and consider the implications of what you are doing! Just think: Smiley Roberts writing CODE! With his OWN website! It could be a very dangerous thing indeed.

Smiley, HTML has a lot of tags, and most of them aren't very useful to someone who just wants to put effects into Forum messages. Probably the most useful for you would be:
<pre>
 ... 
X is a number between 1 and 6

 ... 
all common color names will work

 ... 
makes current font one size smaller

<big> ... </big>
makes current font one size bigger

<center> ... </center>
centers everything, including pictures
</pre>

Smiley,
Some of the tags that you will find in the tutorials cited above will not be compatible with webtv. If you are planning to use your webtv for making a web page you need to understand this. Webtv only supports something like html 3.0 or even less.

With webtv you can do:
tables, lists, font colors and sizes, basic font effects, line breaks, paragraphs, pre-formatted text, images, hyperlinks, mailto, spacing, some javascript, some cgi forms, etc. But can't do frames, styles, font types, advanced javascript, etc.

You need to know this so you don't get frustrated when you try something and it doesn't work. If you find that a certain tag is not working give me a shout and i'll tell you if it works with webtv or not.
