Description I wrote a new tutorial about HTML uses on dA. I hope this tutorial will be, as the title says, a comprehensive tutorial that covers just about all of the bases. In addition to the information I covered in the old tutorial, I added superscripts and subscripts, striking out text, targeting a link into a new window, and creating a textual menu bar using links. I added a brief introduction to the general format of HTML coding on dA instead of jumping right into the bold, italics, and underline codes. I reduced the number of screenshots to facilitate locating the examples you need, when you need them. I added a bit more depth to understanding how links work instead of just writing the code and saying, "Insert your info here." I addressed some troubleshooting aspects of dA HTML and added tips and hints drawn from questions other dA users had posted on the old tutorial. I utilized clear contrast between the foreground and background, legible text, a navigable system of organization, and facetious pretentions of high class. It is my hope that you will find this tutorial just as helpful as the original.

Please download for optimal legibility.

How about doing an HTML Tutorial for dA deviations?

I would, but it's basically the same as everywhere else. The main thing you can only do in journals is thumbnails and strikethrough text, everything else is equally applicable to comments, deviations, etc.

Unfortunately, there is not. Descriptions are the second most limited areas for HTML, first being comments. The most unlimited area is the Journal, where you can do strikethrough text, but even there <center></center> and <font size="+#></font> don't work. Sorry about that, but I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful!
