oh! that's simple! you just need to know the HTML code.

here, i'll show you, i just learned it recently:

[code:1]example<br />
<br />
example<br />
<br />
[/code:1]

that's for on the main site, it works. for other places it may be diff.

Actually, silver_dreams, it's HTML, not javascript. I know HTML.

Okay, Darkraven, since FAC doesn't support file uploads, you'll simply have to write your stories in HTML format. Don't worry, it's easy!

For starters, all you really need to do is start and end your paragraphs with

and

.

For example:

[code:1]<p>Once upon a time there was a story.  The author had been writing all night, and it turned out kinda barmy.</p>

<p>Inside the story there was a hero, not a hero by trade of course.  He never signed up to be a hero.</p>

<p>And there was also the villain who, unlike the hero, strived to be a villain all his life.</p>[/code:1]

Yes, HTML is that easy. Once you've got that down, when you want to use formatting, surround bold text with and , italics with and , and unerlines with and .

Afterwards, copy & paste your story (with HTML markup) into the New Chapter form and there you go!

One final note though: For some reason, FAC doesn't always parse the

tags properly. If your chapter still appears screwed up, don't delete it, just go to "Edit Chapter" (what was the link again...?) and paste in the text all over again -- this should fix it.

That's pure HTML you posted, not Javascript Smile When I said I know HTML, I know HTML in a "wrote-his-own-Angelfire-site-completely-by-hand" sort of way :lol:

Javascript and HTML were developed by different groups and follow different constructs. And while you can nest HTML inside of Javascript (as a string) and Javascript inside of HTML (that's how pop-ups work), they're still two different languages.

HTML looks like this:

[code:1]<p>This is a paragraph with <b>bold</b> text.</p>[/code:1]

Javascript looks like this (an example from w3schools.com):

[code:1]var r=Math.random();
if (r>0.5)
{
document.write("<a href='http://www.w3schools.com'>Learn Web Development!</a>");
}
else
{
document.write("<a href='http://www.refsnesdata.no'>Visit Refsnes Data!</a>");
}[/code:1]

Finally, the
(also
) tag means "line break", it's the equivalent of hitting the Enter key in a word processor. But if you write a lot of HTML (and [i]especially[/i] if you use style sheets with your HTML), you should not be using it to separate paragraphs; that's what the

tags are for.
