Condensed basic syntax
TappedOut forum

Hey all, in my time around the site I've noticed little mistakes in commenting including URLs instead of slugs and I would also like to highlight two useful elements useful for people with 0 html experience.
Basic:
First of all please make sure you've read the comment tutorial (Here), but as a refresher:
Take the slug:
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/dominus-dreamcrusher-edition/
and put it between two brackets, it's not that hard.
Now for useful html (Full html syntax here):
First, links (I'll space it out so it displays just text):
< a href="link" >what you want the link called< /a > just make sure you have both apostrophes, all brackets and that the second a has a slash.
Now, images:
< img src="only the image address, not a website" (optional: width="#" length="#") />
Although it may take practice, people are much more likely to do something if they don't have to copy and paste a URL. Hopefully this is useful.

Yep. All it takes is a little press of a button and all that work is done for ya.

That would take the fun out of it :p. Plus this way it can be done elsewhere.

You can also, you know, copy and paste what appears by clicking the buttons elsewhere. Besides, the buttons use something a lot more user friendly called markdown syntax. HTML can be learned from inspecting elements and by looking up at online tutorials like w3schools for those that desire to.

codeacademy is a great resource for people wanting to learn coding of multiple languages as well - since Femme_Fatale brought up learning opportunities.

TMBRLZ, that's where I learned what little I know, it's just hard to find the time to finish.
