My Stuff => Profile. There'll be a checkbox for RTE.
That tag thing with which you use for the image is html, the other ones I say are useful are:
- <p>Paragraph tags</p> (Only necessary if you don't make paragraphs in another way, but I think they aren't needed if you've got no other tags either).
- <b>Bold</b> Can use 'strong' (no quotes) instead of b. I think I heard that was the standard, but both work.
<i>Italics</i> Can use 'em' (no quotes) instead of i. Same as above.- <br> A break tag, can be used to make white space, or make it look like you pressed shift+enter.
- <a href="link">Text that will be hyperlinked.</a> Doubtful you'll use this in a story, but this is how you embed links to stuff. You just replace link with an actual link (href means hyperlink reference, I think, and 'a' just means anchor).
You can also do all the standard things (tables, lists [like the above!]), since you can technically make webpages with this stuff. Granted, for a website, you'd want to use some CSS to make it look nice and stuff, but those above bits are the ones I find get used in story creation for the most part. Also, I haven't tested writing without paragraph tags, so they may be more unnecessary than I realize, but hey, this is my biased response so I'm mentioning them.
Anyway, if you are one of them people who like to chance color of font, you can always google it (this goes for anything else), but generally you just add... attributes? idk, but here is the color one as an example:
<p style="color:red">Red</p>
Notice that a lot of tags have one part which starts the thing, then one which closes it. Anyway, for color, you can also put in hex values (like color:FFFFFF [this being white]). I think it was hex, but regardless of the name, it lets you be able to get the exact color you are looking for. Alternatively just use this website which lists names of html supported colors. (Here is one where you can find any supported color).
Oh, I guess it is worth mentioning that certain characters get read as html, so if you don't want that, you want to type them out in an alternative form, but if you run into this issue, it is easy enough to google the character representation.
P.S. For accessibility reason, I'll mention that it is a good idea to not have hyperlinks 'text' (the clickable part) be too short, since you don't want it to be hard to click. Also, when you have images, it is a good idea to add alt text, so that if it doesn't manage to load the image, people will still know what it was meant to be (also if someone is using a screen reader, I believe it reads the alt text). Do this just by adding 'alt=':
<img src="image path/link/whatever" alt="alternative text describing image">
P.P.S. You can also change text size, font, etc. with html, but I think I've rambled enough, lol. Tell me if you get the background image working!
Edit Welp this looks a bit worse than I was hoping for. Anyway, one more thing, if you right click, then press inspect, you'll open a thing with which shows you a page's html (and other stuff too)! You can also view source, but then you don't get a side by side. Granted, I doubt you'll be doing anything as complicated for a storygame, so don't worry about it, just thought it was a fun little thing.
