Summary
WARNING: all the codes in this guide were tested on a computer. I can't guarantee the effect when the work they are applied to is read on a mobile phone.
CHAPTER 1 is for the text with glitching effect similar to the Zalgo font, also in color, with different fonts and highlighted.
CHAPTER 2 is for the mirror effect, vertical text and upside down text, also in color, with different fonts and highlighted.
CHAPTER 3 is to create a negative mirror text effect (here in black and white) with the text side by side.
CHAPTER 4 is to give your blockquote a colored side border, top border or bottom border (also in gradient colors or using an image), a colored background (also in gradient colors) and different margin values.Series

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.

It feels like Setsu is the one killing them. The figurative knife is in their hands, and Yuri is accepting of it, a curse born out of the foreign concept of love.

Summary
Italy likes being underestimated. He likes that the other nations characterize him as silly or harmless. That gives him the opportunity to disappear into the background, to become the cute, sweet, painfully naive pasta-loving nation that everyone holds dear. But he draws the line at being called nice.
Italy is not nice. He is kind, and there is a difference.
