Description
HTML or Hypertext Markup Language, is the skeletal form of every webpage. It is what tells your computer what to load and what a website looks like. It is comprised of many things called tags and several descriptive texts further explaining the tag.
Tags
Tags are used for different aspects of a website, such as images, forms, and more importantly, text itself. There are many tags for use, however the tags you can use in your website can differ according to the version of HTML your browser uses. Some tags have been deprceiated, or discontinued. When using HTML, be sure to keep your tags up to date.
HTML's use in Charas
HTML is commonly used in signatures and titles (to get around the avatar limitations). Charas has it's own code for images, however more people are more familiar with HTML.
Inserting an image with HTML
To insert an image with HTML, you must first upload it onto a host (see external links). When that is accomplished, copy the image's URL including the .PNG, .GIF, .BMP (not allowed!), etc.
Then get to the sig editing screen. In it, type <img>. Then paste the URL and then </img>. Or, type <img src=(paste URl here)>
In cases of posts or threads with more than one image needed, such as a game thread withscreenshots, the tags can be used more than once.
DHTML
What is it?
DHTML is basically HTML for a page that is different for everyone who visits it. Such examples are the Private Message page, the welcome back page, and the edit profile page. It uses the same basics as HTML, but with some more tags, none of which will be discussed here as of yet.
