The functions are as follows, in the order they appear:
'B' - Bold
'i' - Italics
'u' - Underline
'Quote' - A quote, obviously. :p
Te he~
'Code' - This is used to show the actual code. EX:
- Code: Select all
[img]imageURLhere[/img]
'List' - Used to make a list.
'List=' - Used to make a ordered list.
'[*]' - Yet another list function. :o
'Img' - This is how you incorporate a image into your post.
'URL' - This is used to put a link into your post.
'Flash' - I just can't figure this one out. I've tried it, but it doesn't want to work for me. -.-;;;
The little drop down box in the middle, that should say 'Normal', is where you can adjust font size. It has five setting.
Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, and Huge!!
'Font colour' - Using this, you can change font colour.
'center' - You can use this to center your text.
'desc' - Denotes a body of text is descriptive, or not dialogue.
'font=' - You can use this for custom font styles.
'hr' - Adds a horizontal rule.
'ic' - Denotes something a character says. "Hello!"
'justify' - Justifies the text, so that the left and right sides form a perfect column.
'left' - Moves something to the left of your content.
'ooc' - Denotes Out Of Character content. OOC: Yay, OOC!!
'right' - Moves something to the right of your content.
's' -
Now, here's how to make the best of these functions. Some of these you wouldn't want to use in a IC thread, because they can break the flow of your post, or just be plain annoying. But all of these functions can be put to use in OOC threads.
Bold, italics and underline are great for putting emphasis on a certain part of your text. Lots of people use bold for shouting, and italics are often used to represent thought, or telepathic communication. That doesn't mean you have to use it that way. The use of these functions are entirely up to you, so be creative!
Quote is used to quote something someone else has said. I wouldn't advise using it in an IC thread, as it puts a big ole ugly box in the center of your post. Yucky. D: But it's awesome for OOC purposes! Especially in Crims Chat Convos thread! :)
Code is used to show another person what the code looks like. Say someone wanted to now how to put in a image? Most people say:
But It's much easier to use the code function. That way, the person asking for help can just copy and paste the code. :) For example:It's [ img ] imageURLhere [ /img ] only without the spaces.
- Code: Select all
[b]I'm code! :D[/b]
List is used to list things, as you can guess from its name. :D An example:
- Code: Select all
[list]Green eggs and ham
Cheese
Milk[/list]
- Green eggs and ham
Cheese
Milk
Now for two very important functions!! IMG and URL! :D
Img is used to place a img in your post, like so:
URL is used to place a link in your post. There are two ways to do this:
http://myththreetails.deviantart.com/art/Dragon-ID-125668190
And:
I'm a link!
Here's the code for them, so you can see what I'm doing:
- Code: Select all
[url]URLhere[/url]
[url=URLhere]text!![/url]
These are good for OOC posts, but not so cool in IC posts. :)
Font size, and font colour are pretty straight forward. Just click 'em, and choose the size/colour you want. :)
Center, left and right are as so:
Here's desc:
This is descriptive text. ;o
IC:
"Would you like to see my claws?"
OOC:
OOC: Mwahahahahaaaaaa! ;p
The above is a horizontal rule. Awesome for divided things. For example, if you have two characters in a RP, you can use this function to separate the IC text pertaining to each character. Here's another 'hr':
There is also justify, but auto justification often turns out ugly, so I advise not using it. If you wish to do so, though, by all means go ahead.
Then there is strikethrough. This is, in my opinion, a semi-useless function. It can be fun to use though. XD
And that brings us to the end...
*coughcough*
I hope this was useful to all of you. I advice experimenting with the different code functions, and using the preview button, located next to the submit button, often. Remember, these codes can be extremely useful! Don't be afraid to use them! Get acquainted with them, experiment with them. They can be used solo, or layered together. Like so!
So... Have fun!!! ;D
