    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

    Do you want to have a nifty way to have multiple languages in a fic:

    • Without making your readers scroll to the AN for a translation?
    • Without the text and translation sitting side by side?
    • And still make it look pretty when people download it into an EPUB or PDF format?
    • Making it work with screenreaders? (Subject to varying screenreader capabilities)

    Here is a solution for you. Come on babygirls, let's roll.

    (This is a HTML tutorial but I'm lowkey flirting with you by calling you babygirl occasionally because I got bored while writing this.)

    NEW UPDATE [20/3/2026]:

    • Chapter 1: Sample Usage (Excerpt from a WIP in my drafts)
      • A short character study about Griffin Harley from Babel (by R.F. Kuang). Utilizies 3 languages in multiple formats. You don't need to have read Babel to pick apart the code used.
    • Chapter 2: Basic Tutorial (same as before)
    • Chapter 3: FAQ (regarding customization and usage)

    Summary

    Popup tooltips that work well on both desktop (hover) and mobile (tap open and close). Constrained width, so best for short tooltips or translations for a couple words at the most.
