    How to create your work skins to have colored text by

    Fandoms: AO3 help - Fandom  

    22 Feb 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    This is a guide to make text in color, be it for a single word, a full paragraph, several paragraphs in a row, or even the whole chapter, also in different sizes. The tutorial also contains ready-to-use codes for you to add to your work skins.
    WARNING: all the codes in this guide were tested on a computer. I can't guarantee the effect when the work they are applied to is read on a mobile phone.
    CHAPTER 1 is for pure colored text.
    CHAPTER 2 is for text in gradient color, both linear gradient and radial gradient.
    CHAPTER 3 contains the steps to combine gradient background with gradient text. It also contains the links to each of the other guides of my CSS GUIDES series
    CHAPTER 4 contains the links to eight sites where you can create your gradients and get the ready-to-copy code to paste in the CSS code of the workskin.

    A Complete Guide to 'Limited HTML' on AO3 by

    Fandoms: No Fandom  

    31 Oct 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide

    It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time to update.

    The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.

    There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)

    Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.
