Does colored words show upnon stories?

[Emotional]

If I wanted to write a few words in a story in red or blue, would it load onto Lit the same way?

 

[NotWise]

I can't say for sure that it would be lost, but I'd be very surprised if it went through.

This isn't what you're asking, but it's the only reason I'm responding. I'd find text color changes to be a really annoying feature in a story. If there was much of it, then I'd probably stop reading.

If you want to go on with it, keep in mind that some people use a story page with dark text on a light background, and others (including myself) use a story page with light text on a dark background.

Doubt it. You could try it and let us know.

I think I've seen colour used once or twice, but couldn't see the point of it - and NotWise's observation is an important one. I too read in dark mode, it seems more restful on my eyes - I can't imagine what coloured font would do.

Also, remember that many readers are colour-blind.

And if the reader is using the Lit Android App then all the html formatting is stripped out.

These are the only HTML tags that are allowed, yet if you submit as a word doc, I don't think the conversion program used would let it go through...

<i> - italics
<u> - underline
<b> - bold
<center> - center
</br>
and maybe <blockquote>

I'm sure I missed a few and some will be along to add to this. Personally, I too use dark mode to read her at lit, I also use the Lit App where all of the above are stripped out. It sometimes even strips out a paragraph mark or two.

I always use the "Heading 1" style in Word for my chapters and separators. I don't change them when I submit the "doc" file but the color has always been stripped out when published on Literotica.

 

[KeithD]

The Literotica process will strip out a "Heading 1" style too, so maybe that step isn't changing what you're going to get. With so much coming into a file like Literotica has from so many different directions, and in the face of Literotica essentially being a one-style anthology visually, it's natural that it strips as much down to basics as possible.

Good point

There are a few other tags that will work - at least they did when I tried them in preview mode. I'm not sure what will happen when posted on the site. Most of them are not that useful anyway, except the tag for links (a href=). For stories, links are only allowed to other parts of the site, but it definitely works.

How are you going to get colors in? It's been a very long time since I learned how to use CSS and "divs."

I don't know how any of that would work on Lit or even exactly how you would format your document.

And lit has it's own CSS and it will not allow you to replace it or modify it.

And while it is true the preview will allow and show some things, it still has to go through another process... Laurel. Bam... that's where it will be rejected and sent back for you to take out the offending stuff.
