How to Make Your Posts More Colorful

Question

This thread is in response to all of the people who have asked how to add color to our posts.

This is not meant to be an exhaustive study of the use of HTML markup code but merely a brief tutorial to allow everyone to be able to use some of the more useful features in their posts. If you are interested in a more comprehensive understanding of HTML and CSS, I would recommend this website: W3Schools

To Add Color

1). Copy the following markup

<a style = "color:blue;">Text Goes Here</a>

2). Insert your desired text in the space that reads "text goes here"

3). If you want to use a different color, all of the primary colors will work in place of "blue."

Strikethrough

1). Insert either the "s" or "strike" opening and closing tags around the desired text

<s>This Text Will be Strikethrough</s>

or

<strike>This Text Will be Strikethrough</strike>

---

Font Size

1). Use the following code to make the font size a percentage of the original font

<a style = "font-size:200%;">Double Sized</a>

Much of this no longer works on SD in 2015.

Some of the html code is being stripped out by the Spanish Dict program that is used to process what we type in the answer box before it is shown as a post. Many of the tips in this article no longer work. - DilKen, May 28, 2015
