Propose new FAQ for posting profile entries

I'm noticing lots of people now able to post "links" and various characters (bold, italic) in their member profile and video pages. I know there is some way (html code) to do this, but I'd like to propose that a faq page or quick reference list be made to show how we can do this.

I've asked before but I can't find my old post about it.

Yes, please. For us code-illiterate members? It would be ever so kind.

It's similar to the forum tags except you use < and > instead of [ and ]. The big difference is with the URL tags.

Use the following formats, but replace each { with < and each } with >

{b}bold{/b}
{i}italic{/i}
{u}underline{/u}
{a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org"}Your own text here{/a}

The actual appearance of these (when you use the < and >):

bold
italic
underline
<a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org">Your own text here</a>

With the a tag, make sure to use the quote marks and a complete URL; i.e. with http:// at the beginning.

I don't know all the tags that they've allowed in the profiles (XHTML has many more than these), but if it's the same as for the video entries, then em, strong, and strike will also work. Best to experiment to see what these do.

Here is a site with lots of html code stuff... much of which you can't use in profiles anyway. ^_^;;

I think you can also use <s>strikeout</s> too...

I don't recommend this, just like to share a knowledge.
You can hack an html element and put/override css styles into it, e.g.

Code: Select all

<a class="TextLinkOne" href="#">a-m-v.org standard link</a>

<u style="display:block; border:1px dashed; text-decoration:none">
Instead of underlined text, it's inside a white box with dashed border.
</u>

Just don't over the line.
