Does someone have the link to the old McWikiQ?

Can we get the explanation of how to post Youtube videos on this site?

A useful tag to know is < code >< /code > (without the spaces). Using it allows you to show HTML formatting without it going all crazy.

For linking to use the link button and be able to have it open in a new window (as that’s how I always like my links to open up. Also the image button creates a really quick image html code.

Natto,

Is there anyway to keep a permanent box referring to the McFAQs, so we can easily refer newcomers to the faq’s (as in, stop the redundant posting of trade rumors?) I do believe this idea was raised on the previous faq’s

Some SBN 2.0 tricks.

Anybody who wants to write in big or colored text, SBN 2.0 is verrry particular about your code.

Text in different sizes looks like this:

<p style="font-size: 1.5em">THIS FONT IS 150% NORMAL SIZE!

THIS FONT IS 150% NORMAL SIZE!

p is for paragraph, style is, well, keying in a style change. Font size is obvious. But them “em” is less intuitive. em is just your size ratio. 1.5 = 150% size, .5 = 50% size, and so on. Then you close the p tag.

Font colors are very similar:

<p style="font-color: green">THIS FONT IS GREEN!

All of which is self explanatory if you paid attention to the font size code.

OR

<p style="font-color: #006600">THIS FONT IS GREEN!

The only difference here is that you know one of 216 web-safe font colors by its numerical code. You fancy-pants. Or you googled it. You rotten cheater.

THIS FONT IS GREEN!

THIS FONT IS GREEN!

You can combine common codes with semi-colons. Therefore:

<p style="font-size: 1.5em; color: indigo">WHAT THE FUCK? BIG INDIGO!

WHAT THE HECK? BIG INDIGO!

This also works in tandem with the basic text editing code:

<b>BOLD</b> / <i>ITALIC</i> / <strike>STRIKETHROUGH</strike><code>

BOLD / ITALIC / STRIKETHROUGH

Therefore:

<p style="font-size: 1.5em; color: indigo"><b>WHAT</b> <i>THE</i> <strike>FUCK</strike>? BIG INDIGO!

WHAT THE HECK? BIG INDIGO!

If you want to do more than one “style” effect over a single line, you need to use the display inline code for EVERY element you want displayed inline (you also need to use non-breaking spaces to make spaces between elements):

<p style="display: inline">

Non-breaking spaces =

 

Note, no carrots on a non-breaking space.

In practice (the code code doesn’t like this one, so I added spaces before and after every carrot… it also autoformats my non-breaking spaces, so I’ve replaced those appropriately as well):

< p style=“display: inline” >This is normal font.(non-breaking space)< /p >< /code >< code >< p style=“font-size: 1.5em; display: inline” >This is a big font!(non-breaking space)< /p >< p style=“font-size: 2em; color: #FF6600; display: inline” >THIS IS AWESOME FONT!< /p >

This is normal font. 

This is a big font! 

THIS IS AWESOME FONT!

Code code doesn’t appreciate closing tags, so where I have to show you closing tags, I’ll do it by using spaces before and after carrots instead. Adjust accordingly.

Lists are easy. The list itself uses this tag:

<li>

You tell what kind of list to create with different tags. Numbered lists are:

<ol>

Bulleted lists are created with:

<ul>

Therefore:

< ul >
< li >howtheyscored< /li >
< li >Natto< /li >
< li >Grant< /li >< /ul >

=

• howtheyscored
• Natto
• Grant

Furthermore, numbered lists are created with this:

<ol>

Therefore:

< ol >
< li >Tim Lincecum< /li >
< li >Barry Zito< /li >
< li >Matt Cain< /li >< /ol >

=

1. Tim Lincecum
2. Barry Zito
3. Matt Cain

IF you want to screw with your numbered list, though, you can override the automatic counting by inputting value manually using this:

<li value=[flavor of value]><code>

Therefore:

< ol >
< li value=1 >Tim Lincecum< /li >
< li value=6 >Barry Zito< /li >
< li value=1 >Matt Cain< /li >

=

1. Tim Lincecum
6. Barry Zito
1. Matt Cain

I hope that wasn’t too technical for most people.

3) Remember to preview your image before posting to make sure it works. I know you’re totally stoked to be posting an image on McCovey Chronicles, but take a couple seconds to see if it will actually post, so you don’t look like a dumdum.

I think I’ve got it now.

I’ll be printing this and saving it. Although I’m loathe to give up the WYSIWYG editor, but the control would be nice.

I have just one thing to say: FA Q all.
