do u kno da wae *:･ﾟ✧ a guide to template coding

[nefarius]

Beasts Of Beyond uses a type of coding called "Div Style". Div Style is what I'm using now - it essentially edits how your posts look for aesthetic purposes. Where posts usually go from left to right, I was able to control it going straight in the middle, with the width restricting how long my words can go before I skip to the next line.

In order to effectively use Div Style, you'll need to implement a code in the beginning and at the end of your post.

[code=beginning][div style="codeshere;"][/code]

[code=ending]

[/code]

[align=center]CODES

Before the codes are posted, all credit goes to Felix, an admin from the site BearBones! They had an extensive guide on the coding that I used for reference, and all of this couldn't have been done w/o it :^)

✧ width

Code:

width: #%;

Code:

max-width: #px;

Code:

min-width: #px;

✧ height

Code:

height: #%;

✧ minimum height
More words in your temp = longer it gets. Only use this code if your overflow is set to stretch!

Code:

min-height: ##px;

✧ overflow
Auto: will add a scrollbar when the Div reaches maximum height / Stretch: template height will adjust depending on the text / Hidden: text will cut off after it goes past the height limit / None: text will just continue outside of the template.

Code:

overflow: auto/stretch/none/hidden;

✧ border
TYPES OF BORDERS: solid, double, dashed, dotted, inset, outset, ridge, groove
There are two variations of this code!
1. Goes width -> color -> type, in that order.

Code:

border: ##px color type;

2. Same idea as the first, but has separate codes for width/color/type instead.

Code:

border-width: ##px; border-type: bordertypehere; border-color: #hexcodehere;

3. For those who wish to get into specifics, this code makes it so that you can have different borders from top/bottom, left/right - whatever your heart desires. However, you need to specify which border you're using; "top" can be changed to "bottom", and it can do the same with left and right.

Code:

border-top: ##px color type;

✧ rounded corners
The bigger it is, the more rounded the corners get. 100 means all curves, and a circle/oval depending on what dimensions you have.

Code:

border-radius: ##%;

✧ multiple rounded corners
Different roundness for every corner. You can also make semicircle templates with this! Only numbers 0-100 or it won't work.

Code:

[div style=""]border-radius:0em 0em 0em 0em;[/div]

Margin within a template, meaning the text will be a certain # of pixels from the borders of the template. First is for all the same padding, and the second code is for padding on different sides.
