Pasting and posting articles is a matter of personal preference I guess. Some just use a simple cut and paste, while others just put in a link. Both have their drawbacks. Naked links to me are sort of arid looking, while simple cutting and pasting loses a lot of the formatting, links, and other parts of the article, also putting in a lot of line spaces.
Some of you note that, as in [URL=http://www.originaldissent.com/forums/showpost.php?p=103835&postcount=2]this article[/URL], I post HTML. It looks much sharper. How do you do it? Basically just cut and paste from the HTML source document. (Check "view" then "source" with IE if you by chance have never done this.) You have to select the optimal HTML parts to get a really crisp document.
There is one thing however you need to do, to make it come out nice in our threads. I don't like it when paragraphs don't show up or are not properly indented and lines only take up half the width of the browser window. This is what will happen if you just cut and paste the HTML from the source.
Solution? From the source document, just cut and paste first into Microsoft Word. Then select "replace all" and replace all paragraph marks. (Go to "special" at the bottom of the find and replace window.)
That's all you have to do really. Just try it out.

| [center][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2][img]http://www.teach12.com/images/monalisa.jpg[/img] [/size][/font] [/center] | *The DaVinci Code *has remained on *The New York Times* bestseller list now for more than 50 weeks. Even though it is a work of fiction, it contains an ostensibly historical background involving early Christianity. But what is fact and what is fiction? Join Professor Ehrman to discuss the truth behind such topics as the formation of the Christian Bible, Jesus' relationship with Mary Magdalene, and the role of the emperor Constantine in shaping the religion of the historical Jesus. |
