Help

What this program does is generate the HTML code to color text like this sentence is colored. So if that last sentence is colored like normal text, then the Web Browser you're using doesn't support the font tag which is the mechanism through which this program works.

In brief, you use this program by writing the text you want to be colored in the group that is labeled Text, add at least two colors into the Colors group, Test out your code, then Save or Copy it when you are satisfied with it. The rest of this help menu describes all the features of this program.

Text

The Text property merely specifies what text will be rendered colored. In the case of my example above, the sentence "What this program does is generate the HTML code to color text like this sentence is colored." went there. The text here, except for HTML tags, is interpreted literally, character by character; hence, one cannot directly use characters specified by and ASCII value like " " for a non-breaking space. If you want to use a character like that in your text, you should use a character like "*" in this program and then use the replace feature of your HTML editor (which sux and you should download Code Edit if it doesn't have one) to change the "*" to the text you want.

Code Stylization

The Code Stylization group allows you to indent, capitalize, and space the generated code, so that it will integrate well with your code. When Casing is set to Lower,  will be writen , when set to Upper,  will be writen , and when set to 1st Letter Upper,  will be writen . Code Stylization options only affect the code generated, not how the Text will appear. Since the program is persistent, you need only set these options how you like them once.

HTML File

The Copy, Save, and Test buttons in the HTML File group all work independently of each other and relative to the all the other current settings. Copy copies the generated code onto the clipboard, so all you have to do is paste it where you want into the HTML document you want. The Save button provides an alternative way of using the generated HTML code by saving it to a file. If you Save your code, <head> and <body> tags, which will not be added if you Copy your code, will be added to the file. Test lets you see what your code will look like when rendered in your default browser. Test operates based on the current settings not based on how the settings were at the last save or copy. You can also see what your code will look like before saving or copying it by testing it and viewing the source code for that file (if your default web browser has that feature).

Colors

The Colors group allows you to specify the colors to which the text will be changed. An equal amount of text is used for fading between each of the colors, so if one were to specify black, light-gray, and black again for the colors, the 1^st half of the text would be fading from black to light-gray, while the 2^nd half would be fading from light-gray to black.
