|
|
I have a question: I have a story I would like to post, but what makes it fun is that it has strikethroughs, alignment changes, super- and subscripting, etc, which don't seem to translate. I've got the document in HTML, but only the italics and centering seem to work. Is this the case? If so, I don't think I'll post it because the effect is gone.
Thanks much! |

We strip out much of the HTML code, and there are no plans to change this.
We also have a facility where users can download the story in plain text; this is quite frequent amongst some fanfic readers who may move stories into portable devices or print them off. For this reason, most stories need to make sense without any formatting, images, etc.
It would be nice to have your story, but if you need the formatting to make sense, then it's probably best not to post it. _________________ Rob

I do. Very useful ability. Don't usually have enough time to read stories when I am online and when I do I can't get online.  _________________ A Drabble A Day Keeps The Bunnies At Bay |

Okay- won't post it then. It's a visual thing (a poem, with scratch-throughs, alignment differences, etc) to look as though you're seeing the work in progress.
Thanks for the help! Is there a place that lists what HTML you do allow? I've tried hanging indents and see that they don't work.
