For the more adventurous:

Quick HTML buttons

The buttons to the right of the posting box will insert the indicated HTML format into your posting box. Use of the HTML buttons is described in the table below; explanation of the HTML tags themselves can be found in HTML Basics .

Add Link
<a href="LINK" target="new">TITLE</a>

Paste the desired URL in place of LINK, and the desired text for TITLE.
Add Image
 <img src="IMAGE">

Paste the URL of the image (not the html page). For more image options, check HTML How-tos.
Add Italics
 <i>TEXT</i>

Substitute the text you wish to italicize for TEXT.
White Font
 Use white font for spoiler text--for example talking about movie or TV plot details.

<font color="white">SECRET MESSAGE</font>

Substitute the text you wish to hide. People will have to select and highlight the text to read it.
Faux Tag
 If you're a novice, skip this for now.  

Angle brackets are special characters in HTML, and can't be posted as is. You need to use the "escape sequence": &lt; for <, &gt; for >. Or you can click the Faux Tag button.

&lt;TEXT&gt;

Substitute the text between the escape sequence for angle brackets.


 
Unassisted HTML

The Perfect World supports most HTML Tags. If you need help, check out our HTML Basics .



Single Line Breaks

If you type a list:

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

it will appear as

1/2 cup water 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

The software will acknowledge double line breaks only. You can get around this problem one of three ways.

Use an ordered or unordered list. See HTML Basics for procedures.
Double space the list.

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Put a line break (<br>) at the end of each line

1/2 cup water <br>
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar <br>
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil<br>

which will appear as

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil


Quoting Text


It can be helpful to quote the specific statement you are responding to. You can do this simply by placing the statement in double quotes. But that's so....typewriter.
