+Sussex Leprechauns Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Is there a quick answer to the question 'how do I change the font in a cache log entry eg change the colour, embolden' etc? If there is, could someone let me have it please? If by necessity it is a long answer that would also be appreciated Thank you Nick Quote Link to comment

+Stuey Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 or just stick [red] before your text and [/red] after it and it will make it red Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Ah yeah but Log Maximiser does a lot more. Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Ah yeah but Log Maximiser does a lot more. Ah yeah but the question was how do I change font colour, embolden etc. If someone wants to install Firefox, Greasemonkey and Log Maximiser to just do that, it's up to them I suppose Quote Link to comment
+Yorkie30 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I am old fashioned and still use internet explorer. I use this website to help me use HTML code. Just tick the HTML box when submitting or editing your cache page. May take longer but it works for me. http://www.web-source.net/html_codes_chart.htm Yorkie30 Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 OK I admit defeat, just trying to be helpful. So to help the OP. In the following examples I have used the {} brackets but you need to replace them with the [ ] brackets {b} bold {/b} for bold typeface {blue} COLOUR {/blue} for different colours (enter the colour you want) {i} Italics {/i} for Italic typeface Quote Link to comment

+JeremyR Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) And since the OP specifically asked about fonts, you do them like this: Andale Mono Arial (the default) Arial Black Book Antiqua Century Gothic Comic Sans MS (Worst. Font. Ever!) Courier New Georgia Impact Lucida Console Tahoma Times New Roman Trebuchet MS Take your pick... Note that unlike most BBCode, you don't 'end' the font with [/font], you just change it to something else (Arial is the default). Oh, and some other fonts work too (Verdana at least). Restraint with the styles makes for easier-to-read logs though The above code comes out in logs like this: [edit] because the forum ate a bit of my code Edited October 23, 2009 by JeremyR Quote Link to comment

+The Blorenges Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 If you want to expand your horizons and get HTML code into your cache page then I've written a page on my resource website explaining how to do it. Includes fonts, layout and adding images and links. Written for the non-technically minded person I also explain how to do it and test it BEFORE you put it on your cache page using Notepad.
