StickyAlso refer to KYMdb Style Guide and Wikipedia: Textile.
I won’t explain everything here, but I’ll give you the textile you’ll find most commonly on this site.
Bold: Place a * on both sides of the text you want bold. Result: Bold Text
Italic: Place a _ on both sides of the text you want italic. Result: Italic Text
Strikethrough: Place a – on both sides of the text you want strikethrough. Result: Strikethrough Text
Underlined text is done differently: Start your text with (u) and end your text with (/u). Replacing ( and ) by < and >. This doesn’t work on the forums however, which forces me to type it like this.
These can all be combined with each other as well, creating the combined results: Ultra Combo!
%{font-size:12pt}font size% will change the size of the text by changing the number.%{color:red}text in red% will change the color of the text by changing the color name.
Image posting:
Place exclamation marks (!) on both sides of the Url or use <img src="Url" />, the second code allows to change the size of the text by adding width=“X” or height=“X” behind it, with X being a number.
So <img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8wt7tpdav1qzaxefo1_500.jpg" height="300" /> becomes:
Headers:
Start the sentence with h2. (dot included) followed by a space. The number can vary between 1 and 6, with 1 being the biggest header. Entries most commonly use h2 and h4 in their headers.
Linking:
This can be used to name your links and make them clickable. This is done by using either "Name of the Link":Url or <a href="Url">Name of the Link</a>
So "Super Special Awesome Link":http://knowyourmeme.com/ becomes Super Special Awesome Link.
The Name of the Link can also be changed by an image html, making the image the link. So <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/"> <img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8wt7tpdav1qzaxefo1_500.jpg" height="300" /> </a> becomes:
Other small things:
Start a sentence with a * followed by a space to use bullets, which I’ll use in the below examples.
- Use (center) and (/center), with ( and ) replaced by < and > to center your text or image, giving it a more professional look. The forums force me to explain it like this.
-
<br />creates an extra enter, creating some room between 2 paragraphes of text.
- This also goes for (hr) (same reason for explaining like this), but this replaces the extra space with a line. This however doesn’t work in the forums, there you have to place 3 – ’s behind each other with an enter before and after. This creates:
Spoiler buttons:
Use either <div class="spoiler">Hidden Text</div> or <div class="spoiler" title="Title">Hidden Text</div>. Difference with the second one is that you can change the title of the button. Creating:
Avoiding textile:
Either place an @ on both sides of the textile, or use <code> Textile </code>. Enough examples of this can be found in this post. Some don’t allow this however, in which case I use ( and ) for the examples.
