| Home recording and general music post from the archived Yabb Recording Website Message Board. Some of the info here may be outdated but many of the audio recording and home studio tips are still good. Note: The only tags I made and attempt to convert are italics, bold, center and underline. So if you see some gibberish surrounded by brackets, just ignore it.

Subject: How do I use Glow? (and others)
by old_dan | 03/11/01 at 21:56:08
There are 3 parameters to the glow tag.
glow=color,strength,width
The first is color. Pretty easy to figure out. You can use words (blue, black, red, etc.) or html numbers (#99CCFF is lite blue for instance).
The next is strength, use a number from 1 to 10. The higher the number the bigger the glow. Anything beyond 10 just pretty much covers the word(s).
The last is width. To keep the lines from wrapping use 100%. Use smaller percentages to force line breaks.
shadow=color,direction,width
The shadow tag instead of strength as the second parameter has direction. Numbers from 0 to 90 seem to make the shadow go up, numbers from 90 to 180 make the shadow go down. Painting the shadow left or right still mystifies me :)
To make the tags work
You have to put the text you want changed inside the square brackets. When you click on one of the icons above it puts the entire tag in your post. Just remember to put your text between ] and [.
An example [ b]Text here would be bold[b ]
(Note: I've left a space between the [ and opening b to illustrate how it should work. In the actual tag there would be no space.)
So what about Flash?
I was afraid you'd ask that. I really don't know anything about flash. If anyone knows flash I would be gratefull if they would show us.:)
So when are you going to explain tables?
When Brittany Spears or Christine what's her name make music I care to listen to. Seriously, making tables is pretty involved. If you know html coding you're already there. And if you're putting tables into message board posts you really need to rethink you world view (hint: get a life:))[shadow=gray,direction,width]
