The rules page has internally referenced anchors. It goes like this:

[Here's my fancy link](#anchorName)

<a name="#anchorName"></a>
My fancy content goes here.  Click on fancy link and the page will scroll to this line.

Say, in order to introduce tags, do we HAVE to use heading? I can’t seem to make it work with div…

Here’s an example
<a href="#example">Here's an example</a>

which leads to

So… I tried formatting in MS Word before posting here, but I find that image links that are made in word don’t work? Is there any workaround? I have a LOT of images to link, and I find MS Word to be very easy to navigate through
<img src=”https://www.realmeye.com/forum/discobot/certificate.svg?date=Jul+15+2017&type=advanced&user_id=7353”>

^^ I copied link from PM to MS word, then copy it here

certificate.svg?date=Jul+15+2017&amp;type=advanced&amp;user_id=7353722x504

^^Link to image directly from PM.

You can see that I typed in the exact same thing. Try the “Quote Whole Post button.”

#55

It’s the quote marks. Word is using smartquotes ” ” instead of plain " which are required in html and that is messing it up.

You can disable smartquotes somewhere in a Word menu.

Thank you. I thought I needed to restart typing elsewhere

#57

Hey @moderators do you know what html tags Discourse actually allows us to use? Was the set modified in any way?

I haven’t been able to get much HTML to work in the preview and I haven’t tested if it actually works when i post it.

Test

test :thinking: Edit: huh? this doesn’t preview… but it does work when i post

#58

@moderators could this be stickied?

#59

I’ll share some formatting I use, because some people steal it anyways.

box text
Done from <kbd> in front.



hover over text that can only be seen on a computer, you hover over the dotted text and it shows stuff.
Done by <abbr title=“this is the text you see when you hover over”>this is the regular text.</abbr>



biggest text you can do now
While you used to be able to stack <big> multiple times to get really big text, you cant do that anymore.
Now the biggest you can do is <big><font size=10> big text here.







Usually only one blank line shows up, even if you press enter multiple times. If you do <br>, it adds a blank line.



Clean showing code. If you’ve noticed, I haven’t had to use the ugly looking code like this to show what <text in brackets looks like>. I did this by putting a backslash before.
Like this \<code thing>

#64

its not stealing its liberation

#65

Is is possible to add links to other parts of your post with a HTML heading, or possibly to quote my own post so that it links to it? For example, would it be possible to set up a link HERE that would link to the text at the bottom of my post, so that people can jump to different parts of a post? Preferably, I’d like for this to work within the details tab, so that I can link to something hidden in the details. Is this possible?

<code thing>? Hmm ok, weird name. I find it easier to use tick marks

#68

If you try to post something in all caps, the forums wont let you. They’ll say “Body incomplete, is this a complete sentence?”
You can get around that by adding bracket text after. Fr example

REEEEEEEE

will not post, but

REEEEEEEE
<akl>

will, and it will just show the original word.

#69

How do I return the text size to normal in a post after changing the size for example, to small?
If I try to make it it is bigger than the rest of the text.

#70

You have to use a closing tag at the point where you want that formatting to end. This closing tag always uses a slash /

So after <small> you do </small> to end the small text
after <big> you do </big> to end the big text

As an aside,
This is why people use /s as a joke to show sarcasm, it evolved from </sarcasm> and </s> as a fake closing tag at the end of a sarcastic comment, but because the < and > get lost due to formatting, people just write /s.
