A SEMI-COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO USING TOYHOU.SE(WIP)
Is toyhouse confusing? Yea, I get you. Here's a guide on how to do things, featuring way too many words!
CURRENTLY A WIP, LAST UPDATE SEPTEMBER 26TH 2020
WYSIWYG, HTML, and you
WYSIWYG and HTML are two common terms you'll hear when it comes to character profiles, user profiles, forum posts, worlds, comments - almost every text entry field on TH uses one of these two.
WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get, and is a standard rich text editor, allowing you to paste images, links, graphs, spoilers, etc, directly in the text.
HTML is the standard coding language for webpages on the internet, and you can do far more advanced things with it than WYSIWYG, but it requires knowledge of coding.
You can either create your own layouts using either WYSIWYG or HTML, or try out one of the many code templates located in the HTML subforum! Do note that many of these templates require WYSIWYG to be off to work. You can either disable WYSIWYG by clicking the 'disable WYSIWYG' button on the top right on the text editor, or under account > display settings > disable WYSIWYG
Some useful HTML terms:
<p>TEXT</p> : paragraph break <b>TEXT</b>: bold text <i>TEXT</i> : italicized text <br> : line break
