    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

    Explains:
     ● how to make a work skin;
     ● how to view fics' work skin rules;
     ● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
     ● how to turn all links blue-underscore automatically;
     ● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
     ● Site Skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works;
     ● even a quick way (code included) to simply make a Site Skin so that you can read everything in your font of preference!

    Full code is included.

    I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!

    Summary

    You find him, after the first time, more elusive. When he said "the next life", you thought he meant the future but it isn't always, at least not as far as you can tell. (You rarely can tell.)
