if you're sending in a story and you want to send it in html format but don't know how to. . . here's how!
an html document starts with the tag <html> and ends with </html>. adding a slash [/] to the tag signifies that you are closing it. in an html document you have to remember this: first tag on, last tag off.
after the html tag, there's the <head> tag. the head tag could nest many other tags but the most basic is the <title> tag. it contains what is to appear on the title bar like for this case: + basic html tags +. that tag could most probably contain the title of your story.
then ther's the <body> tag, which contains just that, the body of your document, in this case, the contents of your story.
all in all, the structure of your document should look like this:
<html>
<head><title> [insert title here] </title></head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
as for editing the text content:
- <p> signfies the start of a new paragraph.</p>
- <br> breaks the line of text
- <b> turns text to bold </b>
- <i> italicizes the text </i>
- <u> underlines text </u>
- <font face="[type of font here]"> changes the font </font>
- <font color="[hexadecimal value here]"> changes the color of the text. for a collection of hexadecimal values click here. </font>
- <font size="[#1-7]"> changes the font size. </font>
well, those are the only tags i use when writing a story. don't forget the closing tags okay?! if you have any other questions, you can e-mail me.
