I appreciate the help
_Land, look down this window. Do you see the "Forum Rules" box? It has four lines. Look at the right hand side, second line. You should see

    vB code is ON

Click on   vB code,   and a window with a well writen Vb manual will open up for you. (You may even click on "vB code" here, in this letter).

Indent, Rybka, indent! :)

Here is the simplest indentation device:  

It is "space". Use it as follows, type:

Not indented line.
 Not indented line.
 Indented by 1 space.
  Indented by 2 spaces.
   Indented by 3 spaces.
    Indented by 4 spaces.

You will get:

Not indented line.
Not indented line.
 Indented by 1 space.
  Indented by 2 spaces.
   Indented by 3 spaces.
    Indented by 4 spaces.

You get every other space for free, so that there is no need to write a space poem about it.

Try it, you'll like it. Use it also to
get   more     space     between   words.

&nbsp &nbsp Does this really work?
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Thank you!
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Thank You!

Free html format

If you use Literotica html editor, you may have once and for ever a file with a useful template (or even several templates), which will save you the trouble of typing the same things over and over again. I use the following one, starting with <pre> and ending with </pre>:

                *****

<pre><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>


    <<poem>>



</b></font>
penName ©



</pre>

                *****

Of course, in your template you do not need "<<poem>>", have blank space there. Also, replace "penName" with your actual pen name, straight in the template (once and forever).


When you submit a poem then first copy the template into the editior window. Then copy (or type in) your poem where above it says <<poem>>. And optionally, put the date under your pen name, if thast's your wish.

You may format your poem any way you like, and that's how it will show to your readers. This is so, because your poem was inserted by you between <pre> and </pre> tags (see above, check the template).

At this time, somewhat accidentally, my template specifies proportional fonts, which I actually dislike. I will experiment with the one which I like, namely "New Courier", which has constant width. I like constant width, it gives me complete control over the format, it is a very predictable font: each character has the same width, be it space " " or "m" or "i", they all have trhe same width, hence it is easy to line up characters anyway you want them.

Enjoy,

Two questions.
1.) Where is this "Literotica html editor" you keep mentioning? I can't seem to find it. :(

2.) What does the html code "pre" stand for and do?

You need to get the

    Rybka: Poem Submission

page. You will see there, about one third down the page, the following text:

Poem Text: There are two ways to submit your poem. You may paste the text into the box below or you may upload a .txt, .rtf, or Word .doc file by scrolling down the page to the next form field. Please use only one method - do not put text in the box and submit a file as both may be lost.


Instead of simply pasting (or typing in) your poem into that box, you may include also html tags. (It's better not to include tags such as <html> <header> <body>, and their complementary tags, because you are already between invisible <body> and </body> tags).

As I have written above, in the previous post, <pre> and </pre> tags allow you to enjoy the "what you see is what you get" approach (it's better than that because you still can insert html tags between these two and they will work, e.g. font related tags). Html in its standard mode will compress several blank characters in a row into one. But between <pre> and </pre> html will leave them alone.

Perhaps others can explain better, please do.

Best regards,
