foeofthelance Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Is there anywhere to find a specific list of acceptable codes to use in the HTML format for the story postings? Is it the same as the ones used for the forums? I ask because I find myself wishing to use certain inflections on certain words, but can't because my knowledge in this regard is horribly limited. I figured better ask here than elsewhere because a knowledge of HTML could come in handy on other sites as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanaea Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Are you looking for a list of HTML codes in general, or a list of what is acceptable and will work on AFF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xax Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 As far as I know from what I've posted, the only allowed tags in stories are <p> (for paragraphs), <br> (for line breaks), <b> or <strong> (both bold text), and <i> or <em> (both italicize text). There's also the <u> tag for underlining text, but I've never had need to use that so I don't know if it actually works. I think there used to be a list of acceptable HTML tags in the resources section, but since those have all disappeared I don't think there's authorative list anywhere right now.

EveKnight75 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 From what I can remember from the article, the following tags are acceptable: <b>. <i>, <u>, <s>, <br>, <p>, <h>. I've tried using the <hr> tag, but it never seems to work for me. The very basic font editing tags should work. At this point, I say don't use any fancy fonts and you should be fine.

Guest echtrae Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 If memory serves, the list of acceptable tags was. <i><u><b><center><p><br><ol><ul><li><h1><h2><h3><h4> This may or may not of changed, but this was the last that I knew.

xax Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I just posted a test with some of the tags listed here (among others). the result: <h1> through <h4> (various types of headers) ALLOWED <h5> and <h6> NOT ALLOWED <p> (paragraph) and <br> (line break) ALLOWED (duh) <b> & <strong> (bolding) ALLOWED <i> & <em> (italics) ALLOWED <pre> (monospace 'preformatted' text) ALLOWED <tt> (monospace teletype text) NOT ALLOWED <center> (centers text) ALLOWED <big> & <small> (change font size) NOT ALLOWED <font> ALLOWED <ol> & <ul> & <li> (ordered list, unordered list, list element) ALLOWED <dl> & <dt> & <dd> (definition list elements) NOT ALLOWED <blockquote> (for large quotations) ALLOWED <a> (anchor tag-- for links) NOT ALLOWED <del> ('deleted' or struck out text) ALLOWED <s> (struck out text) NOT ALLOWED <ins> (newly inserted text) NOT ALLOWED <table> & <tr> & <th> & <td> (various table tags) NOT ALLOWED and I also noticed more security stuff to note the admins about. D: But yeah, those are the various allowed and unallowed HTML tags as far as I've been able to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
