Hello this is a guide on how to make a Rentry!
First off, what is a Rentry?
Rentry is a markdown paste service where you could make websites out of it too. But how do you make one? Well I will teach you how to make one right now.
First off I will teach you the basics which is pretty easy.
Once you finish making your Rentry, you need to put an url ( the name of your website ) and the edit code for your Rentry so you can update it anytime you want but if you didn't put an url and an edit code then your website will be deleted.
You should also remember your edit code or else you will forget how to update your Rentry.
How to add images? Well it's pretty easy for computers but if you are on mobile then it might be a bit harder for you since you need a link to a photo for example like you need discord something something but i'm pretty sure you can find a tutorial for it on youtube, but for PC and Laptop is easy.
- Here's how to add images.
As you can see in this picture here, you need to put a " ! " since if you didn't add it then it turns into a link instead so don't try to do that...
You can also name the [ ] thing whatever you like as long it's not explicit or weird stuff. ( same with the link of the picture too )
If you want to add your own images into Rentry then you just right click the image you want and paste it into the ( ) ( for laptop/computer users.) for mobile users you can use Catbox, FileGarden or PostImages, Laptop/Computer users can also use them too ^^
For mobile users here's the video for inserting images by clicking here.
And also if you are looking for dividers or profile pictures then I recommend checking Tumblr or Rentry resources for dividers.
Now we are going to learn how to color texts.
You can also check the " How " button to know how to color texts too.
First off this is an example on coloring a text.
- This is the code for coloring the text.
- What appears in the Preview after you enter the code.
Overall there are a lot of stuff I had to cover on other coding but too lazy to explain the entire thing so here's the picture.
Now I will teach you how to size images.
- All you have to do is just add {numberpx:numberpx} like any size what you want the picture to be.
What you need to put
As you can see here you just need to put the size code at the end of the link.
( You don't need to copy the size of the image, it's just an example. )
- What will appear in the Preview once you enter the code.
Okay since you know how to do the basic things this part might be tricky but I will try my best to explain on how to do Metadata.
First off what is Metadata?
Metadata is another type of coding where instead of normal coding in Text you basically code with _ like instead of doing using Text to code, you use Metadata to code in a different way which is a bit hard but easy for you once you know how to do it, it also changes how your Rentry looks like too which is pretty cool too.
I also TOTALLY recommend reading this if you want to learn more how to do coding in Metadata. https://rentry.co/metadata-how
How to change the texts's fonts in Metadata?
First you need to click the + Metadata where you can code in Metadata.
- What you have to do is type CONTENT_FONT in Metadata and press space and then press the equal sign, kinda like this.
You can also choose fonts by searching here. Credits to flora!
For example I chose VT323 as the font I want, now all you need to do is put the font you want like this.
- What code you need to put. ( This is just an example you don't need to copy me. )
- What will appear.
( This will turn everything that you type into the font you chose. )
How to add a custom icon to your Rentry?
This one is pretty easy so here's how to.
- First off you have to type PAGE_ICON in Metadata once again and add the equal sign.
And now find an image you want as your icon. I recommend finding ones in Tumblr or other websites maybe. Now once you find what icon you wanted your Rentry to be, insert the link to the PAGE_ICON
The results!
By the way, not all images will work though. If you want to add your own custom favicon/icon then click here. Remember to use FileGarden or Catbox for that!
Now how to make a layout in Metadata?
I don't know how to explain but you could learn how to by taking inspirations from people's Rentry on Pinterest maybe.
