Using Tags and Codes Original author:  Created:  Modified by:  Last Updated:   The Dragoneer  2011-02-08 @ 20:42  FoxWolfie  2015-01-24 @ 12:09 Tags and Codes This article contains tags and codes which can be used in shouts, comments and journals on Fur Affinity. This information is adapted from Yak's journal. Text Editing Bolded:    This is [b]bold text[/b]     -->     This is bold text Italicized:    This is [i]italic text[/i]     -->     This is italic text Underlined:    This is [u]underlined text[/u]     -->     This is underlined text Striked Out:    This is [s]striked out text[/s]     -->     This is striked out text Sup-scripted:    This is [sup]supscripted text[/sup]     -->     This is supscripted text Sub-scripted:    This is [sub]subscripted text[/sub]     -->     This is subscripted text Colored:    This is [color=green]colored text[/color]     -->     This is colored text    Color your text using color codes (such as red, green, brown, yellow, purple), or hex codes (such as    #0066CC, #FF55FF, #FF9900, #FFFFFF, #000000, #AAAAAA). All of the color names below are valid. Fur Affinity has both a dark style theme, and a light style theme, with many members preferring one over the other. It is a good idea to select colors that are easily visible under both themes, to be sure that everyone can view your page easily. Default text on the Light theme Sample link color red orange yellow lime green cyan deepskyblue blue purple darkviolet magenta brown tan hotpink pink black gray white Default text on the Dark theme Sample link color red orange yellow lime green cyan deepskyblue blue purple darkviolet magenta brown tan hotpink pink black gray white Quoted Text:    [quote]Unnamed quoted text[/quote]  Newly typed text     --> Unnamed quoted text       Newly typed text    [quote=Username, in his journal]Quoted text with attribution[/quote]  Newly typed text     --> Username, in his journal wrote: Quoted text with attribution       Newly typed text Alignment:    [left]Left aligned text[/left]     -->     Left aligned text    [center]Centered text[/center]     -->     Centered text    [right]Right aligned text[/right]     -->     Right aligned text Specialized Characters    (c) by me     -->     © by me    'Sup(tm)     -->     'Sup™    Spam(r)     -->     Spam®    Please Note: The letters are not case-sensitive, and it can be either (C), or (c).

Custom Link Formatting    [url=http://www.furaffinity.net/user/yak] Yak's page [/url]     -->     Yak's page Relative URLs    Relative URLs are only for URLs on www.furaffinity.net specifically, and auto-generate links.    [url=/user/yak] Yak's page as a relative URL [/url]     -->     Yak's page as a relative URL    [url=/view/1205953] Relative link to a submission [/url]     -->     Relative link to a submission Site Specific Features    Replace "username" with the name shown in the URL of the desired user's page.    (User names in URLs are being stripped of some characters.)    :iconusername:     -->     username    Create's an icon and name link directly to the user's page.    @@username     -->     username    Create's an icon and name link directly to the user's page.    Same as :iconusername:    :usernameicon:     -->        Create's an icon link, but no name link, directly to the user's page.    :linkusername:     -->     username    Create's a name link directly to the user's page.    @username     -->     username    Create's a name link directly to the user's page.    Same as :linkusername: Comic Navigation Links    [194001, 193998, -]     -->     <<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>> Use formatting in the following style [SubmissionID1, SubmissionID2, SubmissionID3] where it follows the Prev/First/Next format, as shown above. This is a quick way to make the navigation links for those artists that do comics.  Notes: Only one whitespace character is allowed anywhere between the numbers, commas and square brackets. To disable a certain link, for example, if you don't have the "next" link on your latest piece, or the "prev" link on your first one, replace the ID with a dash, "-", and that link will be disabled. Works only in submission descriptions. Video Inserting YouTube Video Youtube embedding works only in journal bodies, and nowhere else.    [yt]youtubelink[/yt]     -->     Note: YouTube changed their formatting, and until we can update our script, embedded. Video links must look like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxx in order to work. HTTPS links may NOT work.

Were are only allowed 12 of each of these on our FA pages.

  :linkusername:   (Makes a name link to a user's page)
  @username        (Makes a name link to a user's page)
  :iconusername:   (Makes both an icon and a name link to a user's page)
  @@username       (Makes both an icon and a name link to a user's page)
  :usernameicon:   (Makes an icon link to a user's page)

Simply replace username with the desired user's name, as it appears at the
end of the address bar in your browser, when you are on their page.

Anything more than 12 of each of these does not work. There is a way around
the limit though, to make your page appear better.


If you want more than 12 avatar icon links with names, just make the first
12 like this:

  :iconusername:                   (Shows the icon and the name)

then make 12 more like this:

  @@username                       (Shows the icon and the name)

and you can even make 12 more like this:

  :usernameicon: :linkusername:    (Shows the icon, then shows the name)

That gets you 36 avatar icons with names. There is no way for a normal user
can get more than 36 avatar icons to show up in the main section of their
page.


If you want more than 12 username links without icons, you are in luck.
Use this for the first 12 names:

  :linkusername:                                (Shows a name link)

Use this for the next 12 names:

  @username                                     (Shows a name link)

If you need more, then you can use this format for an unlimited number of
name links:

  [url=/user/username]Username[/url]            (Shows a name link)

For all of the examples above, there can be no spaces between the []
characters. Check each of your links by clicking on them, before deciding
that you are done editing your page. If a link does not work, make sure the
username part is exactly as their name appears at the end of the address
bar of your browser, when you are on their page.


To link to a user's main page, use either of these:

  :linkusername:                                (Shows a name link)
  [url=/user/username]Username[/url]            (Shows a name link)

  Or, you can simply paste the entire URL to their page, but that will
  take up more screen space and probably look sloppy.


To link to a user's submission, use this:

  [url=/view/########/]Any text you want[/url]  (Link to a submission page)

  Replace the ######## with the submission ID. That is the number at the
  end of the address bar in your browser, when you are looking at the
  submission.  You can simply copy the /view/########/ portion of the URL
  from the address bar, and it will work.

  Or, you can simply paste the entire URL to their submission, but that
  tends to look sloppy.



To link to a user's Gallery, Scraps or Favorites, use one of these:

  [url=/gallery/username]Username's Gallery[/url]

  [url=/scraps/username]Username's Scraps[/url]

  [url=/favorites/username]Username's Faves[/url]


To link to a user's Journals or Commission Info, use one of these:

  [url=/journals/username]Username's Journals[/url]

  [url=/commissions/username]Username's Commission Info[/url]


To link to a specific journal, use this:

  [url=/journal/#######/]A specific journal[/url]

  Replace the ####### with the journal number. That is the number at the
  end of the address bar in your browser, when you are looking at the
  journal.  You can simply copy the /journal/########/ portion of the URL
  from the address bar, and it will work.


To link to a specific shout, use this:

  [url=/user/foxwolfie/#shout-########]Here's the shout[/url]

  Replace the ######## with the desired shout index.  Normally, you only
  see this number in the address bar immediately after making a shout.  You
  can view the HTML page source to find the index of other shouts, but be
  aware that linking to shouts will fail if the user has deleted the shout,
  or if it has scrolled off their page.


To link to a specific comment, use this:

  [url=/view/#######/#cid:########]Here's the comment[/url]

  Replace the first ####### with the submission ID and the second ########
  with the appropriate comment ID.  The best way to find these numbers is
  to look at the comment and to mouse over the (No Subject) link.  Right
  clicking on that should allow you to save a permalink to the comment that
  includes the proper numbers.
