So,I've recently got back into screwing around with HTML commands (some of which are more detrimental than beneficial, but I rest my case in the people who use it), and now I'm pondering...

Are HTML-modified texts able to change even the properties of the story itself? Can we change title font, choice color, and background colors using this?

And <blink> doesn't work, is that on purpose?  I was thinking of using it for a Horror story or something surprising, but...

Different versions of HTML aren't supported on different browsers, in this case the blink code can't work unless the browser supports a certain version of HTML. I think the most recent is HTML5, some browsers just don't support it :P

and yes, you can change properties of stories.

global script

$PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "body background='URL'"

will change the background of pages in the advanced editor. body background=URL> will change individual page background.

Yes you can change link colors, page colors, logo colors, backgrounds, and if you're really dedicated you can basically do anything.

Also - if you use the font> code in the title of your page will change the font color, size, and face. Reference.

For changing the link color, you use the $linktext variable.
