    Summary

    Explains:
     ● how to make a work skin;
     ● how to view fics' work skin rules;
     ● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
     ● how to turn all links blue-underscore automatically;
     ● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
     ● Site Skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works;
     ● even a quick way (code included) to simply make a Site Skin so that you can read everything in your font of preference!

    Full code is included.

    I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!

    Summary

    “I recently spoke with Rex Lapis. He informed me that our contract has been nullified, and he tasked me with finding a new purpose. I interpreted this to mean he wishes for me to live a mortal life of leisure."

    The Traveler glances up at the ceiling in thought. “That sounds like spending your time doing what you enjoy.”

    Xiao sees the moment an idea pops into his head; he sets a sheet of paper and a pen on the floor between them, abuzz with energy.

    “Xiao,” Aether begins, grinning in a way that shows his teeth, “have you ever heard of a bucket list?”

    After giving Rex Lapis his thanks for rescuing him in the Chasm, Xiao is assigned a new task: live leisurely, unburdened by his contract. This novel freedom leaves him grappling to find a new purpose amidst a Liyue that no longer needs him.

    Luckily, there are a myriad of people willing to teach him what it means to live like a human.

    (Or: a continuation of Xiao’s Healing Arc™ post-Chasm.)

    Summary

    There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide

    It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time to update.

    The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.

    There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)

    Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.
