cami's rentry tips!

this rentry is just a dumbed down version of the "how" tab

how

yeah, this one!

i thought it was pretty confusing, so id rewrite it. this is for all the noobs looking to make cool graphics like me :^

so, down below youll learn out about text formatting, image insertion, markdowns, hex colors (and how to choose them!), and any other bits i feel like adding.

also, if you would like to check out my rentry, click here.

text formatting

* makes things italicized!
** makes thing bold!
*** makes things bold and italicized!

wanna know how i used them without the formatting?

backslash

yeah, thats right! the "\"

thats some basic formatting for typing.. but if youre looking for adding pictures, this next part is for you!

image insertion

so, for images and layouts, ill normally go to tumblr (hey, look! a markdown link! thats coming up later ;D)

i recommend using an account, as youll be able to view all posts. not signing in is fine, but you can only enlarge images a certain amount of times before it makes you sign in.

now, go to the search bar and look up "rentry emojis" or something related. it should look like this:

search bar

im gonna use this:

example of stickers used

now, i want you to click "copy image address" not "copy image." **I REPEAT, NOT "COPY IMAGE."

yes not no

now, in order to insert the image, go back to rentry and type "![alt text]" then, without using a space, type "([image link])"
once doing this, you can view it on the "preview" tab up top. if you dont like the scaling, type "{00px:00px}" then adjust to your liking. one thing i want to make clear is that it is formatted as width x length, not length x width (weird, i know).

image link example

in rentry it should show up in blue (look, i did it again. saving that for later :D).

it should look like this when youre finished
shoes

now, onto the next tip!

markdowns and markdown links

markdowns in text

there are a few more formatting tips for text that im putting here.

strikes/cross out (two ~s on each side)
marker/highlight (two =s on each side
pre-colored text (%any color% text %%)
hex text (%hex code% text %%)
spoiler (!> on one side of the text)
spoilered text is hard to show the prefix, so im trying my best

colors for pre-colored text can be found on this page.

as for hex codes, just google "hex color picker." it should look like this:
hex

markdown links are basically like image insertion, just without the "!" at the beginning.
all you want to do is write your display text like so:
[example] and your link (https://example.com). then just mush them together. if you do it right, it should look like this (that link leads to rentry).

just always remember to write the "https://" before the link.

ending notes and other stuff you can try

if you use a "#," it will make a header (up above!)
you can use this to anything up to six

making right-oriented and center-oriented text is easy, just use "->" on both sides or your text for right-oriented

and the same, opposite facing arrows, on each side for center-oriented text. plus note, this works for images too.
also, bulletpoints are easy, just "+" or "-" to make a regular one, and "[tab, or 4 spaces]-" or "[tab, or four spaces]+" for a subpoint

  • example
    • sub example

bulletpoints will be formatted in the editor as green, subpoints will be pink. also, click enter twice to start a new area, otherwise itll look like this:

  • example
    • sub example
      new text

anyways, thats the end. if youd like to check my rentries they are listed here

thanks for reading!
