hehe, I was just gonna tell you to go to the FAQ page, but I'll be nice. ;) :lol:
got these straight from the FAQs. :)
* Bold: To make text bold, surround it with and tags. You can place as much text between the beginning and ending tags as you want, and all of it will be bold, even if there are spaces and punctuation included. Example: This text is in bold.
* Italics: To italicize text, surround it with and tags. As with the bold tag, you can place as much text between the and tags as you want.
* Underline: To underline text, surround it with and tags. Again, you can place as much text between these tags as you want, and it will all appear with an underline.
* Center: To center a line of text, use
and
. These tags work very much like the tags described above, but you must start the text you would like to center on a separate line.
* Marquee: To have a segment of text appear to scroll across the screen, use and . This tag will only work correctly on Internet Explorer for Windows; it can even cause some browsers to crash or not display the rest of the page properly. You should enclose marquees in the LiveJournal-specific tag pair to hide text in a marquee tag. Example: This text is scrolling across the page.
* Pre-formatted text: HTML treats multiple spaces as a single space, to allow formatting in the source code that doesn't need to apply to the page you see in the browser. Because of this, if you type multiple spaces into one part of an entry, it will appear as though you had only typed one. Enclosing text in
and
tags will tell the browser to display it as it was entered, including multiple spaces.
It is possible to apply multiple HTML tags to the same text: This text will appear simultaneously bold, italic, and underlined. When you do this, the closing tags should be in reverse order to the opening tags, so that the first closing tag applies to the last opening tag, and so on.
To add an image to your journal entry, user bio or comments, use an tag where you want the image to appear:
You can also tell the browser how tall and wide the image is. In order to do this, use the code shown below, and replace "y" with the height of the image, in pixels, from top to bottom, and "x" with the width of the image in pixels from right to left:
LJ-CUT
...
By default, the link will say "Read more...", but if you want it to say something else like "Cut off here", you can write the tag as
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
ninetydegrees
![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png){kind=small}
