LJ-Cut help needed for HTML

[amberfocus]

Can someone give me a quick crash course on how to do an LJ-cut with html?  I usually use rich text editor, but I want to learn how to do it with html.

For example, I would like to make the following paragraph say Frog Prince.

There once was a frog who became a prince.  No other frog has done it since.  We're convinced.


Can someone give me the code to do that, only instead of using < > brackets in the example code, use ( ) brackets so it won't cut while you're putting in the code and then I can try it out?  Pretty please?  Thank you.

Uh, that's explained in the FAQ, hun: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75

Or did you mean something else?

Yeah, I know, but they somehow don't explain it as well as they should. I got it now, though, thanks!

Like this??




<lj-cut text="Frog Prince"> and then to end cut </lj-cut> (I think... it may be </lj cut>)

Basically this. Only don't use spaces betwen the >and the text and the Otherwise the text will be borked.

[lj-cut text= "teaching a LJ cut]Text here[/ljcut]

If you want to center the text

[center][lj-cut text= "teaching a lj-cut"][center]Text here[/lj-cut]

It's fun to learn HTML for cuts and fonts. It gets to be that it becomes second nature, at least it does to me.

Thank you. That will be helpful. I'll probably continue to use rich text editor for most stuff just because it is easy and I am lazy, but knowing how is still something I wanted to do.

If you want to see how I do an entry, I can send part nine to you fully coded when I am finished. Header and all. I never use rich text. I honestly don't remember if it existed when I started using LJ, but I always coded.

It's pretty easy when you get the hang of it.
