This is a very basic question, but I couldn’t seem to find it anywhere. The post instructions that I did find on here don’t work.
I want to have a specific post have big text, I tried BBCode / markdown [size=40][/size] etc but it doesn’t work. I tried<div> <font size> etc, nothing works!
How can I control the font size for particular strings of text in a post?
One option is to use <big> and <small> tags
Examples:
<big>this text is large</big>
this text is large
<small>This text is small</small>
This text is small
That did the trick! Thank you much! How about making quotes, without using the quote button? Is there a tag for that?
This would work:
<blockquote>This is a quote</blockquote>
This is a quote
What are you trying to do?
Additionally, If you start a new line with a > it will create a blockquote — Discourse supports bbcode, (some) HTML, and Markdown… but generally Markdown is the simplest way to format content.
You can find a quick reference and a tutorial here: Markdown Reference
Yes, I actually found it just before you posted that. Thank you though!
Now, what about the quote markdown, what would that be in html? for example [quote=“user1, post:66, topic:52”] <blockquote="user1,etc>?
Basically, if [quote=“user1, post:66, topic:52”] is the input then what is the output in raw code/html? I’m trying to detect when someone quotes, but I’m not picking up anything beginning with [quote= when posted.
A quote from a specific user / post gets converted into an <aside> element with the class quote Inside that there are different elements like a div that holds the meta information like user avatar and name and a <blockquote> that holds the actual quote
Something like this:
And that’s what it looks like in html:
<aside class="quote" data-post="2" data-topic="82448">
<div class="title" style="cursor: pointer;">
<div class="quote-controls"><i class="fa fa-chevron-down d-icon d-icon-chevron-down" title="expand/collapse"></i><a href="/t/controlling-text-size-in-posts/82448/2" title="go to the quoted post" class="back"><i class="fa fa-arrow-up d-icon d-icon-arrow-up"></i></a></div>
<img alt="" width="20" height="20" src="https://d11a6trkgmumsb.cloudfront.net/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/lll/40/85378_1.png" class="avatar"> lll:</div>
<blockquote>
<p><big></p>
</blockquote>
</aside>
Thanks, that is the html, but my bot doesn’t recognize any part of that or the [quote]. Anyhow, this might be more on the bot side of things than just the html or markdown itself. Thank you anyhow!
What about any text size? I’ve seen someone do smaller than small in a website using this domain.
Have a look at this BBCode plugin
