Html & Ezcode Help
BRACKETS
All HTML tags are enclosed within < > brackets.
Anything that is written between the < and > brackets will be invisible, and not appear on your page.

All Ezcode tags are enclosed within [ ] brackets.
Anything that is written between the [ and ] brackets will be invisible, and not appear on your page

CASE SENSITIVE?

HTML tags are NOT case sensitive.
So, <center> is the same as <CENTER> is the same as <Center>.

EXCEPT: image filenames! ... the filename should be written exactly as it appears. For example,<img src="pink.gif"> is not the same as <img src="pink.GIF">
OPENING & CLOSING TAGS

Almost all HTML commands have an opening and a closing tag. For example, the opening tag, <center> causes all text and graphics that appear after the tag to be centered in the page. Everything will remain centered until the closing tag </center> is used.
The / is the command to close that particular function



DIFFERENT BROWSERS

Not all HTML tags are supported by all browsers. If a tag is not recognised by a browser, it will simply ignore it. Some browsers are text only and will not support images, some will not support tables or frames.
LINE BREAKS
Html
<br>
This starts a new line. NO closing tag is needed.

Ezcodes
[br]
This starts a new line. NO closing tag is needed.

BOLD LETTERS
HTML
<b>
This tag causes the letters to be bold. You must always close with the </b> tag.
Ezcode
[b]
This tag causes the letters to be bold. You must always close with the [/b] tag.
ITALICS
Html
<i>
This tag causes the letters to be italicised. You must always close with the </i> tag.
Ezcode
[i]
This tag causes the letters to be italicised. You must always close with the [/i] tag.
HORIZONTAL LINES
Html
<hr>
This tag makes a very fine shaded horizontal line such as is used throughout this page. NO closing tag is needed.
You can also control the thickness, length and alignment of the line, by combining the following attributes:
Width is expressed as a % of the width of the page.
For example, <hr width=50%>


Size is (thickness) expressed as a number (of pixels).
For example, <hr width=50% size=10>


Align can be left or right. If not specified, it will default to the center.
For example, <hr width=50% size=10 align=right>


Noshade You can make the line dark by specifying noshade.
For example,<hr width=50% size=10 align=right noshade>

Ezcode
[hr]
<hr>
This tag makes a very fine shaded horizontal line such as is used throughout this page. NO closing tag is needed.
TO CENTER TEXT OR IMAGES
Html
<center>
This will cause whatever follows to be centered in the next line in the page. You must always close with the </center> tag.

For example:
<center> This text is centered </center> will appear as:

This text is centered

Ezcode

[center]
This will cause whatever follows to be centered in the next line in the page. You must always close with the [/center] tag.

For example:
[center] This text is centered [/center] will appear as:

This text is centered

TO MAKE TEXT SLIDE ACROSS SCREEN:
Html
<marquee>text</marquee>

Ezcode
There is no ezcode that allows you to create a marquee in ezcodes.

TO ADD COLOR TO POSTS OR SIGNATURE:
Html
<font color=red>text</font> = text
<font color=yellow>text</font> = text
<font color=blue>text</font> = text
<font color=white>text</font> = text

Ezcode
[font color=red]text[/font] = text
[font color=yellow]text[/font] = text
[font color=blue]text[/font] = text
[font color=white]text[/font] = text

and so on and so on... leave off the "= text" on the end...that is for example only.

The other method requires finding out the hex decimal code for colors:

Color codes

Which can be found at that site.
And it is set up the same way but with hex code instead.
Html
<font color="ffccoo">text</font>
Ezcode
[font color=#66cc33]text[/font]
