    Summary

    “I cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible.” - Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen
    ---
    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
    Paige was of the good sense to know that single men with good fortunes rarely married women without them.

    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 update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)

    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

    “I was sixteen, when it happened.” He types, gesturing with one hand to his mouth, throat, and chest. “I was out late with my girlfriend at the time- we’d gone to a concert. She- there was light, white and hot and awful and I saw her being lifted off the pavement and I- I couldn’t stop it.”
    Paige frowns. “Starsmore-”
    “Jono.” He types. “Please, I prefer being called Jono.”
    “Jono.” She says, testing out the name on her tongue. “Was she-”
    “She disappeared for a while.” Starsmore- no, Jono types. “Vanished. No note, no phone calls, no evidence of anything other than what had been done to me…..I was- they pronounced me dead at the scene initially…I apparently came to in the ambulance, missing half of my chest. I was in a medically induced coma for over a year before I was fully stabilized.”
    Paige’s stomach drops, her eyes raking over his form. She knows what that looks like, can very easily imagine him, perfectly still in a hospital bed, connected to machines that offer his family little hope beyond a stable heart-beat. “And your- your girlfriend?”
