fonts, alignment and html

  • There’s been a hell of a lot posts on all my questions, but I haven’t found the (probably very simple) answer(s). First, I have a website with 5 wp databases, one excepts html tags in the posts, the other doesn’t. I am using html to just align an image, make one part of the text smaller than another, that sort of thing. Maybe I just shouldn’t use html, but the bar on top of the new postings area (and also above this post right now) says “b”, “i”, “link”, “b-quote”, etc., but no alignment, underline, font-size, etc. which are quite normal / usefull functions in my opinion (and what the hell are “code”, “ol”, “ul” and “li” for anyway?). Do I need a plugin or something, so I need something else than html or do I need to activate html in the posts (can’t find that though).
    Just compare gangleri.nl/bookreviews (looks different in IE, Firefox and Browzar too btw.) with gangleri.nl/articles for example.

    Thanks in advance.

  • I think you should be looking at CSS to control the presentation rather than HTML.

    Go to https://www.w3schools.com/ to learn about HTML, XHTML, and CSS.

    Go to https://www.w3schools.com/site/site_validate.asp and validate the segments of your website, i.e. https://gangleri.nl/bookreviews/

    You’ll see this one failed the XHTML validation with 49 error.

    Alright, thanks to the Microsoft copy and past functions, I got ‘curled bracket’ (“) that WordPress doesn’t understand, thanks for having me to look closer. But the question is: if, in one and the same post, I want first to have a line with font size = 3, than a part with size 1 and then 3 again (or whatever), then I want a part aligned left, then centered, then right and then left again, how do I do that without having to type html in the posts?
