Day 2 [Multimedia Elements In HTML]

Welcome to day 2 :D

Day 1 [Introduction To HTML]

Line By Line Explanation:

(An attribute is extra info added to an HTML tag. So, is a tag. Src, alt, width and height are the attributes)

Tag : Used to add images to webpages

src : Used to give the URL of the image or the name of the image file

alt : specifies what will appear on the browser in case the image doesn't appear.

Width and height : Specifies the width and height.

Tag : Used to add audio

controls: shows a play/pause bar.

: your audio file (paste your file link there).

Type: Tells the browser what file you're showing it

Tag: Used to add videos

controls : lets users play/pause the video.

width and height: size of the video frame.

: your video file (paste your file link there).

Here's The Output →

Additional Tip : Download these two extensions because they're really helpful.

Live Preview helps you to look your output without having to save it every time you make a change in VS code

Live Server is similar, it just shows you the output on the webpage.

You can search for these two in the extensions icon on the side.

Hey you

all of you complaining about tumblr live

Seethe and cope 😎

Okay but seriously

Get yourself the Stylus extension For Firefox users: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/styl-us/ and for everyone else: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne

Get the Old Tumblr Dashboard Style: https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-2023

You should get this stuff even if you don't plan to remove tumblr live :3 Now here is where the magic comes from:

Stylus allows you to add custom css styles to websites, and you can edit themes made by other people to fit your needs!

See that little fucker? How about we fuckin g kill it?

Press f12 to open the Developer Tools (or however it is called lmao)

Click on this little guy

Now you can select an element on the website, and it will show where it is in the html!

3. Point

Click on it, and now we will see something like this in the inspector!

Collapse a bunch of this stuff, since here we only care about the list items, or <li>

These are the different buttons in the banner

Now, how do we fucking kill that guy?

There are a number of ways to do this, so let's start with the simplest one

Delete

Just select the list item that has the title "Live" and press delete!

So it is gone now, right?

Well... not really. If you refresh the page, it is back. Which makes sense, since the only thing we did is remove that part of the "code" (if you can call html "code"), but when we refreshed it, the server gave us a version of the site that obviously had the button still there.

So what is a smarter way to get rid of it?

While you can't really delete a specific part of the site with just css, you can hide it! To do that, all you have to do is apply the style display: none;

Like that! While it doesn't fix the problem with the refresh, it brings us closer to the solution.

Remember when we got Stylus? yeah!

Go inside of it (😳), and inside the Old tumblr dashboard theme (😳😳), and now we just need to apply the css style of "remove that fucker" to the specific list item. How do we do that, since we can't add it directly into html? We use the attribute selector, and we look for title="Live"!

Where do I write this????

Well, css applies the styles from top to bottom of the style sheet (usually, this post is already too long), and you see how the list item has a few classes assigned to it? It so happens that they also modify the display property, so we have to override it by putting our selector after those in the css sheet... so basically you can just write the thingie at the end 😅

Here is how the attribute selector works!

the .IYr09 part is that specific class, so that if there is ever something on this page that has the title="Live" but isn't what we are looking for, it won't apply there (You don't need to do this, but whatever). The attribute selector is written in the square brackets, and you just... write the attribute that you are looking for there ;P

(I also did the same for the Explore button, but that can be an exercise for the interested ;P)

And now, BEHOLD

(How am I so popular that I got dms during the making of this >.&lt;)

And it will stay like this, forever*

*except if something happens to the addon, theme, css of it or whatever, but you get the point!

[fragilefirstchance]

Is there an actually complete guide to AO3's limited HTML somewhere? I know for a fact that some features work but only under slightly weird rules.

For example, if you're using the <a> tag to form an anchor to refer to later, you HTML will end up looking like <a name="Anchor" rel="nofollow" id="Anchor"> when it's done auto-correcting in the Preview. If you type in <a name="Anchor"> or <a name="Anchor" id="NotAnchor">, it will autocorrect to that, but if you type <a id="Anchor"> it will correct to an <a> tag whose only attribute is rel, or <a rel="nofollow">. (The rel="nofollow" attribute has no practical effect for most users' purposes.)

I know that AO3 will autocorrect any incompatible HTML to compatible HTML, but I don't know what the compatible HTML is, and the above <a name="Anchor"> example demonstrates that some things are compatible but don't look compatible unless you do them right!

This is especially confusing because the editor will autocorrect some HTML as soon as you switch from the HTML editor to the Rich Text editor - but it won't correct everything. I've attempted to do slightly funky things with styling that seemingly worked just fine in the editor, but vanish when I preview the chapter.

For example, here I am trying to use using the Greek character Ψ as a list bullet. When I originally typed it into the html field, I used the actual character Ψ. As soon as I switched to rich text and then back to html, it had autocorrected to Ψ, which is the escape character for Ψ. (For those who don't know, escape characters are a special code to tell the browser that this is NOT supposed to be code. <p> is an html tag; < p > will literally render "< p >".) So, it accepted the style attribute and the list-style-type, but it forced it into an escape character. So far so good.

Until I click preview. Now the custom bullet is gone, replaced with the standard circle. If I click edit again, the code has removed the CSS attribute that changed the bullet... and also replaced the escape character Ψ with the character Ψ.

Weird.

Hello, wanted to say I read and loved the demo. Very well done. I just had a few questions, would love to know what Twine Template you use, especially at the beginning. Where you have the character creator, I love that the box around your selection changes to say/match what you chose. Such as depending on what skin color I choose it changes to signify that. Would love to know if you would share how you did that. I look forward to future updates! Best of luck.

Thank you! 🤍

I'm using the default template for SugarCube, if I remember correctly. Glad that you liked the box effect, it was my solution to reducing the number of passages whilst still allowing the validation of user input in character creation.

I did it through a combination of HTML tags and SugarCube native macros. Technical stuff under the cut:

Here is an example for eye color:

<fieldset class="charbox"><legend id="chareyes" class="chartxt">$p.appearance.eyes</legend> <div class="charoptions">Your eyes are: <<link "hazel">><<set $p.appearance.eyes to "hazel">><<replace "#chareyes">>$p.appearance.eyes<</replace>><</link>> <<link "brown">><<set $p.appearance.eyes to "brown">><<replace "#chareyes">>$p.appearance.eyes<</replace>><</link>> [rest of the options removed for brevity]</div> </fieldset>

The fieldset and the legend HTML tags together form a single box, a so-called legend, which I declare per attribute such as name, skin color, etc. You need a fieldset to make legend work iirc, but legend is where that text is displayed and it is positioned on the box frame by default. Important here is to give a unique ID to the legend tag ("chareyes" in this case), as we are interested in manipulating the text shown in it depending on our box.

In the sample above, the options I present for the eye color are listed within the Twine <<link>> tags. For these links there is no target passage to go to. Instead, you can see it is coded to do two things upon clicking the respective option. One, setting a game variable to the selected color.

<<set $p.appearance.eyes to "brown">>

Two, triggering a replace command to change the value shown in the legend to the description of the selected eye color according to the variable we have set in the same line. This is the bit you are asking about:

<<replace "#chareyes">>$p.appearance.eyes<</replace>>

Replace triggers without changing passages, so this way you can adjust multiple variables on a single "page". You'd obviously need to adjust the corresponding CSS classes to make it look the desired way, but the mechanics are serviced with just this idea above.

Hope this helps!

Over on BlueSky, people are throwing fits over artists not using alt tags CORRECTLY. They add artists who don't meet arbitrary standards to block lists. It's fucking absurd.

I showed someone the actual Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Produced by an actual organization who understands both web and accessibility needs. And they just complained they didn't understand it, and refused to elaborate. They kept insisting it was made for "programmers". They'd clicked through to a secondary page and got scared by the fact that there were extremely basic HTML examples. Literally just img tags with an alt attribute. There was full, plain english to go along with it. It boiled down to "Decorative images do not require alt text, especially if context is already provided alongside the image". It gave 4 examples of this. And the person just kept saying they didn't understand any of it. And they came to ME acting as if they were some sort of authority.

Anyway, here's the resources:

[abberantmachine]

shitfuck I need to. I think I really need to start advertising commissions again. I also, yes, need to stop working myself into the ground on a personal project. to do that.

it's more stressful thinking about the fact that everything I spend so long putting out there into the world is just... gone, though. I want to have this archive up soon. there's a few critical problems I overlooked, the main one being you can't link directly to the entries. but, well, I already have functions set up to handle hash targets to spit out particular entries so I think it's not too tall of an order. it's annoying trying to think what particular identifiers to use because just listing them in a particular order is liable to change so I suppose I could have codes based around the... really stupid file names...

I think I might cull the loader because it's causing more problems than it's fixing but I did figure out how to do that! the onload event listener was what I was looking for, I just didn't realise that applying it to an element only applies to the specific piece of html and not its content - so flagging entry posts with an onload listener isn't very useful, but flagging the individual images with one works.

the one thing I didn't expect is that it fires off every time the html is altered, so every image adds multitudes more 'onload' functions every time more are loaded in. this wasn't hard to solve - I just stuck an extra condition to erase the attribute after it had fired off once.

so a neat experiment, nonetheless.

How Custom Shopify Apps Solve Product Data Discrepancies During Squarespace to Shopify Migration

Moving your store from Squarespace to Shopify is a big decision. However, it often comes with challenges, especially with product data. Missing SKUs, incorrect pricing, broken inventory, or misplaced product categories can cause serious problems.

Without the right solution, these issues can impact sales and customer experience. The best way to avoid these headaches is by using custom Shopify apps. These apps help automate data mapping, fix discrepancies, and ensure accurate product transfers.

In this blog, we’ll explore how custom Shopify apps solve product data issues when migrating from Squarespace to Shopify.

Understanding Product Data Discrepancies in Migration

What Are Product Data Discrepancies?

Product data discrepancies occur when product information doesn’t transfer correctly between platforms. Squarespace and Shopify have different structures for handling product data, which can lead to inconsistencies.

If not fixed, these issues can result in missing product details, incorrect inventory counts, and poor user experience.

Common Product Data Issues During Migration

SKU & Category Mismatches

Squarespace and Shopify handle product identifiers differently. This can lead to SKU mismatches or missing product categories.

Squarespace uses tags and categories, while Shopify relies on collections. If not mapped correctly, products may not appear in the right sections.

Variant & Attribute Limitations

Shopify allows only three product options and 100 variants per product. If your Squarespace store has more options, some variants may not migrate properly.

Squarespace’s custom attributes may not transfer seamlessly to Shopify, requiring manual adjustments.

Pricing & Tax Inconsistencies

Squarespace allows flexible pricing structures, including tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive pricing. Shopify handles taxes differently, which can lead to pricing errors.

Shopify lacks built-in support for tiered pricing, requiring third-party apps for customer-specific discounts.

Formatting & Media Issues

Squarespace allows custom HTML in descriptions. Shopify has different formatting rules, which can break layouts during migration.

Images and media may not automatically transfer, leading to missing product visuals.

Inventory & Stock Discrepancies

Squarespace and Shopify track inventory differently. Incorrect stock levels can result in overselling or stock shortages.

If the Squarespace store remains active during migration, real-time stock updates are needed to prevent inaccuracies.

How Custom Shopify Apps Fix These Issues

Migrating product data manually can be time-consuming and error-prone. Custom Shopify apps automate the process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

1. Automated Data Mapping

Custom apps match Squarespace product attributes (SKUs, tags, categories) with Shopify’s format.

They identify and resolve duplicate or missing products.

Categories and collections are correctly mapped to maintain store structure.

2. Variant & Attribute Adjustments

Custom apps convert Squarespace’s attribute-based system to Shopify’s option-based system.

If a product has more than three options, the app splits them into multiple listings.

Essential product details are preserved using Shopify’s metafields.

3. Pricing & Tax Corrections

The app adjusts currency conversions and pricing structures.

Tax rules are reformatted to match Shopify’s settings.

Tiered pricing and discounts are restructured using Shopify-compatible solutions.

4. Content & Media Optimization

The app removes unnecessary HTML tags from descriptions.

It ensures that all product images and media files are correctly linked and displayed.

Bulk updates improve content formatting and readability.

5. Inventory & Stock Synchronization

Custom apps enable real-time stock syncing to prevent discrepancies.

Multi-location inventory structures from Squarespace are mapped to Shopify’s system.

The app prevents out-of-stock items from appearing as available.

Benefits of Using Custom Shopify Apps for Data Accuracy

1. Less Manual Work – Saves Time & Effort

No need to manually check thousands of SKUs.

Eliminates the hassle of adjusting pricing and categories manually.

Automatically reformats descriptions and media files.

2. Higher Accuracy – Fewer Errors in Product Listings

Prevents missing product attributes and incorrect stock levels.

Ensures all products are categorized correctly.

Maintains pricing and tax consistency across the store.

3. Automated Checks & Fixes – Reduces Troubleshooting

The app detects and corrects missing data automatically.

It reformats pricing, tax settings, and media links.

Inventory discrepancies are resolved before the store goes live.

4. Scalability – Handles Large Product Catalogs

Supports bulk updates and large product datasets.

Works efficiently for stores with thousands of SKUs.

Maintains performance without slowing down migration.

Putin's War Out of Boredom. Milei Revives Argentina’s Economy. Prisoner Exchange.

You are watching the news from the weekly rally at the Russian Embassy in Lisbon. Today is January 4, 2:30 PM.

On December 19, Putin stated during a live session that when everything is calm, it becomes boring, and you want action. He added that now, bullets are whistling past his temple but claimed the economy is fine overall. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9bk_NBKJDrc

On December 1, Deutsche Welle reported on changes to Russia’s budget law signed by Putin. Military spending will increase by 25%, alongside a rise in funding for security agencies. https://www.dw.com/ru/putin-utverdil-trehletnij-gosbudzet-s-rekordnymi-voennymi-rashodami/a-70930991

On December 23, journalist Dmitry Nizovtsev explained on the Navalny LIVE channel that the cost of a traditional New Year’s table for 2024 has risen by 23%. Since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine three years ago, prices have surged by 62%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3uuBJ9LEqQ

Radio Svoboda listed additional items that will see price hikes starting January 1 due to increased taxes, excise duties, and tariffs. https://www.svoboda.org/a/v-rossii-rastut-tseny-na-tovary-i-uslugi-i-povyshayutsya-nalogi/33260095.html

On October 28, The Moscow Times quoted Putin acknowledging "difficulties" in the Russian economy and inflation accelerating fourfold. He attributed the issues to external sanctions, labor shortages, and a lack of technology. https://www.moscowtimes.ru/2024/10/28/putin-zayavil-o-problemah-v-ekonomike-i-obvinil-v-inflyatsii-zapadnie-sanktsii-a146184

Putin has sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives, taxes, and lucrative energy contracts inherited from his predecessors to entertain himself with war. He labels those who criticize him as traitors. On December 28, he signed a strategy to combat extremism in Russia. According to Deutsche Welle, this includes monitoring citizens who have left Russia and those who tell the truth about the war in Ukraine, using artificial intelligence. https://www.dw.com/ru/rusofobia-i-ucet-uehavsih-putin-utverdil-antiekstremistskuu-strategiu-rf/a-71177977

Javier Milei, elected as President of Argentina in November 2023, shared insights a year later in an interview on Lex Fridman’s channel. By drastically reducing the role of the state, his administration saved the country from hyperinflation, reduced poverty, and began repaying debts left by the previous government. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NLzc9kobDk https://www.utdt.edu/profesores/mrozada/pobreza

Some good news. On December 30, under mediation by the United Arab Emirates, Russia and Ukraine conducted a prisoner exchange. 189 people returned to Ukraine, and 150 returned to Russia. https://theins.ru/news/277630

Every third Russian was located with the help of the "Hochu Naiti" project. https://hochunaiti.com

On the same day, the United States allocated a military aid package to Ukraine worth nearly $2.5 billion. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/12/30/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-u-s-support-for-ukraines-defense/

According to the Czech news agency CTK, Slovakia’s state-owned electricity grid operator will continue supplying electricity to Ukraine. Previously, Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico threatened to cut supplies in response to Ukraine halting Russian gas transit. https://www.irozhlas.cz/ekonomika/ukrajina-o-proud-ze-slovenska-neprijde-tamni-provozovatel-prenosove-soustavy_2501031312_pj

The Times reports that Russian shelling has already damaged or destroyed 80% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. https://www.thetimes.com/world/russia-ukraine-war/article/energy-corruption-leaves-ukrainians-facing-a-deadly-freeze-9b9tb7gwx

Understanding HTML: The Building Blocks of the Web

In the vast landscape of the internet, HTML stands as the foundation upon which the digital world is built. From simple static web pages to dynamic interactive experiences, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) plays a pivotal role in shaping the online landscape. Let's embark on a journey to demystify HTML and understand its significance in the realm of web development.

What is HTML?

HTML is a markup language used to create the structure and content of web pages. It consists of a series of elements, or tags, that define the various components of a web page, such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, and more. These elements are enclosed within angled brackets (< >) and typically come in pairs, with an opening tag and a closing tag, sandwiching the content they define.

The Anatomy of HTML:

Tags: Tags are the building blocks of HTML and serve as the basic units of structure. They encapsulate content and provide semantic meaning to different parts of a web page. Common tags include <html>, <head>, <title>, <body>, <h1> (heading), <p> (paragraph), <img> (image), <a> (anchor/link), and many more.

Attributes: Tags can also contain attributes, which provide additional information about the element. Attributes are specified within the opening tag and consist of a name and a value. For example, the <img> tag may include attributes such as src (source) to specify the image file and alt (alternative text) for accessibility purposes.

Nesting: HTML elements can be nested within one another to create hierarchical structures. This nesting allows for the organization and hierarchy of content, such as placing lists within paragraphs or dividers within sections.

Document Structure: Every HTML document begins with a <!DOCTYPE> declaration, followed by an <html> element containing <head> and <body> sections. The <head> section typically contains metadata and links to external resources, while the <body> section contains the visible content of the web page.

The Role of HTML in Web Development:

Exploring the Basics of HTML: A Journey into Web Development with an Online Compiler for HTML

In the vast universe of web development, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the essential building block that transforms creative ideas into interactive web experiences. HTML provides the structural foundation for web content, allowing web developers to create well-organized and readable web pages. In this article, we will embark on a journey into the basics of HTML, exploring its core elements and their functions. Additionally, we will introduce you to a valuable resource: the Online Compiler for HTML, a tool that empowers aspiring web developers to experiment, test, and refine their HTML skills in a practical and user-friendly online environment.

HTML: The Language of the Web

HTML is the language of the web, serving as a markup language that defines the structure of web content. Its fundamental elements, or tags, are used to identify and format various aspects of a web page. Let's dive into some of the basic elements that form the foundation of HTML:

1. HTML Document Structure: An HTML document starts with the <!DOCTYPE html> declaration, which defines the document type. It is followed by the <html> element, which encapsulates the entire document. The document is divided into two main sections: the <head> and the <body>. The <head> contains metadata and information about the document, such as the page title, while the <body> contains the visible content.

2. Headings: Headings are essential for structuring content and providing hierarchy to text. HTML offers six levels of headings, from <h1> (the highest level) to <h6> (the lowest level). Headings help create a clear and organized content structure.

3. Paragraphs: To create paragraphs of text, the <p> element is used. This element defines blocks of text separated by blank lines and is a fundamental tool for organizing and formatting content.

4. Lists: HTML allows for the creation of both ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists. Ordered lists are created with the <ol> element and list items with <li>. Unordered lists are created with the <ul> element, also with list items using `<li>.

5. Links: Hyperlinks are a crucial feature of the web. HTML provides the <a> (anchor) element for creating links. The href attribute within the <a> element specifies the URL of the page or resource to which the link should navigate.

6. Images: To embed images in a web page, HTML employs the <img> element. The src attribute within the <img> element points to the image file's location.

Introducing the Online Compiler for HTML

To practice and experiment with these basic HTML elements, there's a valuable resource at your disposal: the Online Compiler for HTML. This user-friendly online tool allows aspiring web developers to write, modify, and test HTML code in a practical environment. What sets it apart is its real-time rendering feature, enabling users to see immediate results as they make changes to their HTML code.

HTML's fundamental elements serve as the building blocks upon which you'll construct your web pages. With the assistance of the Online Compiler for HTML, you have a practical and interactive resource to help you explore and master the language.

AO3 Set Default Posting Language

What it does: As you're posting a new work, it automatically selects your preferred language from the list.

Found at: GreasyFork by Quihi

The Post New Work form on AO3 doesn't choose a language automatically. And when you post a lot, selecting it all the time can become annoying because it is a pretty long list.

Install ⇒ AO3 Set Default Posting Language

By default, the script will pick English automatically any time you open the Post New Work form.

You can easily modify the script to use a different language (selected by it's numerical language ID): On a desktop browser, right-click into the "Please select a language" dropdown. From the context menu select "Inspect". In the window that opens you can check the page's HTML source code. Here you can find the list of all languages as different <option> elements.

The number in the value attribute is what you need (in case of the screenshot example, Arabic is 34).

After you installed the Set Default Posting Language script, change its code: in both places where it says "option[value='1']" switch the 1 to the number you found in the AO3 page source. For example, for Arabic it becomes "option[value='34']":

Save the change, and off posting you go!

If you use and enjoy this userscript, also consider giving its author some feedback!
