Story format question

Quasirandom ๐Ÿšซ

Is it possible to use, or some way to simulate using, the { notice } or { end-note } formatting tags while submitting a story in HTML?

I've mixed < > and { } tags in submissions as a .txt file. So if you have the { } in a file and save the file as filtered HTML, the { } should remain there (why would the "save as" convert it?). I would guess the SOL Wizard would recognize both the HTML tags and the SOL tags and convert them appropriately.

But that's a guess.

I've used markup in an HTML file. I use save as html rather than save as text. Markup notations in an html file work just fine.

So to clarify, if there's a { notice } tag in what's otherwise a well-formed HTML file, it'll format as a div-or-whatever of the appropriate class for a notice?

tldr: Yes.

Long answer:

Yes, SOL tags in html tags work. Let's say you have:

< h3>Chapter 1: title< /h3>

< p>{notice}< /p>

< p>Notice text, bla bla< /p>

< p>{/notice}< /p>

It will work after it goes through conversion. The result will be:

< div class="notice">
< p>Notice text, bla bla< /p>
< /div>

With notice/close-notice tags in separate paragraphs โ€” gotcha. Excellent. And thanks!

Management believes in short answers. But "No" is only two letters. Yes is 50% longer. I suppose "?" would be the shortest answer.

โˆš is only one character for yes
