HELP! HELP! No computer whiz here. How 'bout a tad of rescue! It's a pushover, I'm sure, but can't crack it.
These options are available for writing text: <i>, <b>, <blockquote>, <ul>, <li>, <a>. If you go to the site, click on an article, and at the end of the article click "post a comment," when the text field opens you will see listed the above html resources.
While I have mastered several of these through experimentation, others I have not. For instance, I have learned that <i> before and after a word or sentence will give you italics. Likewise, <b> produces bold, <li> will give you indention and bullets. I would have thought that <ul> would underline, but not so.
Here are my issues:
(1) NOW, my biggest problem is how to produce a block of quote which is indented, and then return to the standard margin setting to resume. My guess would have been that by bracketing the quote with <blockquote> before and after, the desired result would be obtained. Not so. The indention occurs, but when the quote is concluded and closed with <blockquote> the standard margin set is not resumed. What am I doing wrong?
(2) How are <ul> and <a> used?
(3) Also, after bulletting, everything thereafter remains indented. How may I restore the standard margin setting after bulletting? Merely concluding with <li> does not accomplish this.
(4) Lastly, if one wishes to employ, say, a couple of these choices at once, what is the appropriate order for the code? Let us use as an example, putting a blockquote in bold, or italics. How would the code read?
Many thanks, Bernie, for being a lifesaver.
