Sticky
FeaturedAlso 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 >, remove the spaces of course when using it. This doesn’t work on the forums however, therefore I can’t correctly show it.
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. Like this.
%{color:red}text in red% will change the color of the text by changing the color name. Like this.
- 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 a hyperlink. 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, as seen in these examples.
- Use < center > and *< /center >, with the spaces removed of course, to center your text or image, giving it a more professional look. Doesn’t work on the forums.
-
<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. If you don’t want your text to be small within the spoiler, just place a white line between both ends of the code and the text. Creating:
Capiche?
- 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.
