THANK YOU BASED FORM POSTER

This guide is extremely helpful. Thank you for posting this!

I noticed we didn't have a few other things in here. So…

If you want to create a 2 column list, you can use:

To get:

• Some Stuff

• Other Stuff

This is typically used for the sources on entries, but can be used in the forums as well.

[1] some link

[2] some link

---

If you want to create a divider line like I just did above, you have to include a new line, a series of underscores (However many you feel like "_________"), and then another new line before your next paragraph.

---

If you want to make the text of your paragraph very small, just include a space before your first letter. This is more or less a glitch that you can take advantage of, but nonetheless it works.

---

Want to play DDR? Need to use arrows? gives you:

↑ ↓ ← →

---

Need to erase something? Want to strike through a sentence? Just put minus signs ("-") on both sides of the sentence.

---

Also note that for most textile features like (bq.) or any strikethroughs, starting a new paragraph will end/ignore the textile, so in some instances it becomes necessary to use the HTML versions.

quick question : ive been trying to post a comment mutiple lines of text in colors but everytime i do so , it only shows the only last one when i post it.

ive been doing it this way (no space inbetween each %)

% {color:red}exemple %
% {color:red}some other words n stuff %
% {color:red}thank you in advance %

and than some other words without any colors. Any idea on what i am doing wrong? thank you in advance!

@Scout leader

It's a special font called Zalgo, try using this zalgo font generator.

Hey,

Whenever I do "h2. Spread" without the quotation marks, it always shows up as small text but all the other text, formatted and not formatted, are just the right size. Is there a solution to this or is my computer messing up again?

you don't have put as h2.spread you put like h1. Spread and later put h2. text sample

Is there something wrong with the strikethough markup?

Strikethrough should be fixed now.

So, say I have a video on my profile page hidden inside a spoiler button. I want to make it so that it autoplays only when the spoiler button is pressed. Is there any way to do that?

Underscore doesn't seem to work on profiles.

This guide helped me out a lot when I was first starting out on this site. Good job.

I can't post ANY videos at a certain time. It just keep starting at 0 seconds no matter where I place the coding.

Is there any way to add subscripts to text? Superscripts seem to work, but subscripts don't.

This topic is an absolutely brilliant guide, but I do have one question; how do you upload tumblr posts to the Tumblr image gallery?

text in white

You have to screenshot the tumblr post, then upload it.

@everyone

Please remember to delete test posts.

You screencap them and then edit them, or use an online tool like Puush to do that at the same time.

If you mean GIF posts, tools like Gifcam can work.

↑ You want to use the location of the image and not the page of the image.

i.e.: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/965/475/e58.png

and not

Alternatively you can just use the provided code:

I found out that you can upload .webm files to KYM by changing it from .webm to .gif

example:
change this
http://i.imgur.com/f7qvbwJ.webm

to this
http://i.imgur.com/f7qvbwJ.gif

It also works in the forums change to .gif and add ! before and after link like normal

Cheese burger, Testing Testing, 1.2.3.4. Holo Cost me 6 million

Did i do it right.

is there a new way of making shit autoplay?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but my question is: let's say that one user has written two or three or four paragraphs and you only want to quote just a specific part of it. How do you do it?

Hell yeah!

Yes it works!

Ok next….

Perfect!

Time to edit my profile!

!!

Let's try…

Hey. If anyone still comes here, can you please show how to upload video and audio files posted that were uploaded on Tumblr?

Here are some examples of that.

Why is it that the "Name of the Link": Url thing only works if it's linked to other KYM pages? Like, it won't work if I link it to a tumblr post but it'll work if I link it to a KYM user profile.

You need to include http:// or https:// otherwise you need to use the full html hyperlink. Textile will accept intra-site links that are shortened to /forums/link or /memes/link, but anything else on the outside web needs the http://.

e.g.:

https://knowyourmeme.com

https://www.tumblr.com/

Figured I'd add this since it was talked about a while ago.

Twitter will no longer center if you just use the < center > tags. It's preferred that you upload a screenshot of the tweet to the gallery and use that in the article instead. This allows you to freely edit the parameters and protects the article incase the tweet gets deleted, but if you feel really lazy…

You should be able to change: (← not on kym though)

< blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en" >

to

< blockquote class="twitter-tweet tw-align-center" lang="en" >

or

< blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en" align="center" >

and these work off-site, but for some reason kym's css for blockquote overrides the alignment. (I have my suspicions about a mysterious link in the header info, but I can't read javascript, so I doubt that's it.) Right now the way to get around it is to add a < div > tag between the < center > and the < blockquote > tags. You have to use an absolute width though as the percentage doesn't work. Thus you should wind up with something along the lines of:

< center >< div width="500" >< blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en" align="center" >

Don't forget to close your tags!

---

Also, Vines will center, but unless you make a couple of small changes, they will only allow one per row and will all be stacked on top of eachother. There are two different methods to fix this.

Method 1. Choose the "Postcard" embed code and use center tags.

This is the simplest way and all it does is take the iframe src element and change the link from

https://vine.co/v/MXg2zdviKeT/embed/simple

to

https://vine.co/v/MXg2zdviKeT/embed/postcard

Method 2. When copying the embed code, remove the script part.

I haven't really found any way around this one yet. Removing the script part stops the auto-play (which is actually kind of a good thing) but I don't know if that will mess anything else up down the road. Anyways, if you do decide to go this route you have to delete the script from each vine! If you have one Vine at a different point in the article where you left the script and it's centered alone, by the time you scroll down to the other vines, they will still load the script. Remember, you're looking to kill this guy:

< script async src="//platform.vine.co/static/scripts/embed.js" charset="utf-8" >< /script >

You have to use an absolute width though as the percentage doesn’t work. Thus you should wind up with something along the lines of:
< center >< div width=“500” >< blockquote class=“twitter-tweet” lang=“en” align=“center” >
Don’t forget to close your tags!

The absolute width doesn't need to be present, really just div does the trick.

<div><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" blablabla></center></div> is already enough to center a tweet.

N00b question: How do you put in bullet points?

^
<li> put bullet points here </li>

Wow, it works!

If you're feeling lazy, just type a bullet point with alt+8 if you're on a mac. (Don't know what it is for windows).

Thanks.

Alternatively, begin a new line with a * followed by a space, and then whatever you want to say in that bulletpoint.

becomes

• this

• test

Thanks.

Is there a quick and easy way to screencap?

You mean on your computer? From a PC.

1. When you find something to screencap, hit the 'PRINT SCREEN' or 'PRNTSC' button on your keyboard.

2. Go to paint, CTRL+V, save.

3. Hit START or the Microsoft button on the bottom left corner, and go to pictures.

4. Right click, Open With > , Windows Photo Gallery.

5. In Windows Photo Gallery, go to Fix, click on Crop Picture, then adjust the cropping and hit the crop button.

6. Go to any website that allows pictures, click on the website's picture button and your pictures should open up. Click on the pic you cropped and you're set.

I also know if you use Firefox, and you want to copy a pic: right click on the picture, copy image location, and paste wherever there's a URL option.

I also recommend subscribing to this thread so you can come back to it.

I was asked by a user on the IRC for help on external references, so I'll just list out what I've used here, for users that need help with that. Simply Copying it from another entry you have editorship on works too.

You start External References with < div class =" references " > (don't use spaces)

From there, you start every source you want to enter with fn(number of sources you currently have). So it would be fn1. or fn4. or fn15. etc etc.

When you're writing out your source, you start out with the article you're using (so Huffington Post, Reddit, Archive.Moe, whatever it is). You use a hyphen, then in quotation marks, copy paste the title of the page you're using as a source. You then use a colon, then link the page

So far, you're external reference looks something like this. (once again, no spaces)

fn1 . Reddit – " /r/Agario " :http://www.reddit.com/r/Agario/

You continue to use how many sources as you need, and then when you're done, you finish you're sources with (no spaces)

< / div >

and there you have the gist of how to use external references

Is there any way to put Imgur gifvs in the comments? I tried the embed link and it just showed up as "View post on imgur.com".

You'd need to upload it somewhere first, since the textile only takes URLs. You can upload it to your profile here or upload it to imgur.

Or you can be a huge pleb and use puush. I've never used it myself, so I can't vouch for it, but I've heard people say it's useful.
