    Summary

    This is a personal experiment with HTML. It is a very limited list with what I find useful.
    Update: Somehow I find more and more stuff useful, so this list is not that limited (and not that private) anymore. I'll improve it with time and according to my needs. I just realized, this will never be "complete" and there is no final number of chapters.

    So far that's posted:
    Part One: Basics
    Part Two: Lines
    Part Three: Footnotes and Links
    Part Four: Columns and Skins
    Part Five: Pictures
    Part Six: Videos (and gifs)
    Part Seven: Choose Your Own Adventure
    Part Eight: Chapter Title
    Part Nine: The Title, the Username, and Links
    Part Ten: Kudos Message (NEW)
    Part Eleven: Newspaper Article
    Part Twelve: Content Notes and Spoiler (NEW: Opacity)
    Part Thirteen: Playground for Jinx (glitch text, color, table)
    Part Fourteen: Text generator
    Part Fifteen: Boxes (still in progress)

    Summary

    Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
    1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
    2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
    3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
    4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
    5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
    6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
    7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
    8. Block fics focused on original characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
    9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
    10. Block by number of tags

    Summary

    Tommy's family are superheroes.

    And he's totally fine with that, honest, but their job means they can't really see Tommy all that much. Or ever, really.
    And then, one day, inspiration strikes: maybe if Tommy was a villain himself, he'd see them more often! What could possibly go wrong?

    Well. A lot, actually.

    Turns out, being the bad guy is actually sort of fun. And Tommy's new villain friends are showing him that the city might need some changing.

    Summary

    “W-What do you- I mean can I- are you here to rob us?” The person managed to stammer out.

    Siren snorted. “No. I’m just here to order some food.”

    “Wh-What about him?” The cashier asked, glancing at Tommy. “Did you- did you kidnap him?”

    “I mean… yeah, let’s go with that in case this ends up on the news,” Siren shrugged, looking back at Tommy. “I kidnapped you, right?”

    “Yeah, sure,” Tommy agreed, knowing that if they said he was kidnapped, it would keep people from getting suspicious of why he was seen in public with Siren. “Anyway, can I get the chicken nuggets happy meal, with a coke?”

    or, how Tommy—who is not a hero, or a villain, or even a vigilante—saves the life of one of L'Manberg's most feared supervillains, and accidentally ends up becoming the resident doctor for every supervillain in town (and maybe gets a family along the way too).
