Ok guys this is going to be technical to the point I don't understand it so help me out. I see some of the listings on Gunbroker always have pre-written item descriptions with the gun info , shipping info, and payment info.
How do these guys make these out and get them in the description? Everytime I've tried it turns into one run on paragraph. Could you please help me out. I know this is probably secrets a lot of guys don't want to help a newbie out with but I'm hoping there is one guy out there who likes to help people. Who might just find it in his heart to take time to teach this to a guy who isn't so computer savy. Thanks. |

If you hit the "Quote" feature it will show all the text in this post with the various HTML tags when a paragraph, bold text, color text, etc is needed. There are thousands of website that can help you edit whatever text you want to post on an ad. You could also use software to enable automatic HTML tags. Here's one website: http://www.html.am/ |

Here's an easy primer:
< > those brackets around a letter "run" or "switch on" a feature. <b> now all of the text in an html document will be bold. (until you use the turn off feature </ > the front slash, in front of your code letter, "stop" or "switch off" a feature. </b> so now we've switched off the bold feature. <u>now we should see an underline</u> Now the underline is off. <p> throws a new paragraph. (gives you a blank line under your text) No need to use the off switch for this particular code. <i> gives you italics </i> Hope that helps. |

Do you have Microsoft WORD or a similar word processing program (like the free Open Office Writer)?
Most of these programs will let you format text the way you want to see it then save it all as an HTML file. You then copy the HTML “source” in the GunBroker text block The text above will look like this when you copy the source data: <P ALIGN=CENTER STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal">Do you have WORD or a similar word processing program (like the free Open Office Writer)? </P> <P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal"><BR> </P> <P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal">Most these programs will let you format text the way you want to see it then save it all as an <U>HTML file</U>. You then copy the HTML “source” in the <FONT COLOR="#ff0000"><B>GunBroker</B></FONT> text block</P> |
