Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time to update.
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

Summary
a work skin that mimics the program Discord (for chatfics or fics that feature use of it!)
made this skin over a couple days; it won't look good on mobile or with creator's style disabled but the html is pretty easy to customise!
(Note: some folks in the comments have been kind enough to share some fixes for a few of the problems!)If you use it, crediting and linking back here so other people can find it is appreciated :)
EDIT: I haven't updated this in quite some time so I'm giving blanket permission for people to share their own fixed and improved versions of the code! Just link back here so people can find some help for how to use it. happy writing!
