[Grid Character Sheet] Bio Section - Basic HTML

On the settings page, it says that we are allowed to use basic html in the character bio section and I was wondering what is considered basic and what is out of line? I looked all over the wiki and forum and couldn't find anything that addressed this, so anyone have an idea?

Anything that is basic HTML >.> I know tables don't work, nor does CSS but you're fine with divs. I think it might be more helpful if you posted what you wanted to do and someone with HTML know how could tell you whether or not it would work.

Poke around at peoples CSs to see what can be done.

Both tables and CSS work, kinda. Scroll to the bottom of Helly's bio and you'll see a test table I added with example css coding for dotted green outline.

Tables work just as regular old school style tables. As for CSS, it can only be done using "style" elements for each thing, as it's not possible to set a class. It uses the same code, though. Here's an example of both:

<table style="outline:#00FF00 dotted thick;">
<tr><td>test 1</td> <td>test 2</td> <td>test 3</td></tr>
<tr><td>test 1</td> <td>test 2</td> <td>test 3</td></tr>
</table>

Most things should work, but probably not HTML5 or any scripts.

Okies, thanks. I don't want to somehow break the game from trying some html beyond bold and links to threads.

Sorry, was on my phone so didn't elaborate on my tables thing - they add a giant space on top of the table that I've not been able to remove - or at least the last time I tried. In more elaborate CS bios, they just look funny due to the issues they cause with spaces.

And I meant you can't use an external CSS, so you have to hard code everything, which is annoying, but doable. >.>

Also, you don't need </ br> or <p></p> tags, and they screw with spacing too since a line break in actual space equates to a line break in the bio.

Made a page for it so people can add coding that will work for it.

<< and the <br> stuff doesn't work for the wiki either. Its weird. There is a few other html coding that I've found doesn't work on either the grid cs or the wiki.

*spanks the naughty html*
