Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2012 1:06 pm Post subject: Question About Alignment/Text Formatting |
|
|
Been here five and a half years, and I've yet to figure out a way to make text centered/right aligned/left aligned/justified on IF.
I've tried both [align=center,right,left,ect][/align] & [center][/center],ect.
Am I crazy or is this option just not open to us? Anybody got a clue? And please don't tell me to use dothtml or html coding, as I'm not an expert on that, I just know how to make buttons work.
It would be really nice to be able to justify my SG text, center my signature, other images I use in posts, ect. It just makes everything more streamlined and eye-appealing in my experience. _________________

Unfortunately the BBCode available to us doesn't include aligning text. I don't know whether there's a reason for this, or whether it is possible to make that code available.
There's more about BBCode Here
You can, however, do left, right and center of text by using html tables.
This is text aligned
in the centre.
|
This is a block of text aligned to the left.
If the width of the table is not set, the text dictates the width of the table, and it will automatically fit window size (at least it does on my browser) |
This is a block of text aligned to the right. |
How to get that is below:
Code: |
<table>
<tr><td align="center">
[i][b]This is text aligned
in the centre.[/b][/i]
</td></tr>
<tr><td align="left">
This is a block of text aligned to the left.
If the width of the table is not set, the text dictates the width of the table, and it will automatically fit window size (at least it does on my browser)</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">
This is a block of text aligned to the right.
</td></tr>
</table>
|
You can see from this you can also insert BBCode in this too, including images.
There is a way to do justify but for some reason I can't get it to work.
Hope this helps.

Not quite sure why it's doing that - I notice that it's made a bit of a mess of the background graphics too - and has moved the 'back to top' link and all the link buttons at the bottom of your post to the right.
It's probably better not to put html in your sig and only use it for your content in your posts (I know some forums disable it completely anyway because it can mess things up).
I discovered when mucking about with html in my SG chapters that setting a standard width can cause scrolling issues for people viewing at different screen resolutions - something to bear in mind.
I don't have any other tips to offer other than to keep experimenting - that's the way I do it... but feel free to PM.
