This tutorial is in response to a thread on the Bulletin board regarding formatting problems with a story where the author had included the HTML codes for Italics in the text to save Laurel time in preparing the story for posting.

How To
Authoring with Markdown
Introduction
To focus on the content instead of formatting, authors may find it helpful to use Markdown as markup language and use a Markdown-HTML converter, instead of writing HTML directly:
If you want to create documents for reading with a browser or e-book while displaying more than just plain text, the most versatile format of...

Bold or Italic?
Alex de Kok (c) 2002
I suspect most of us submit our creations via our member page. Here we have the option of cutting-and-pasting into the box provided, or forwarding a file which we may have prepared in .txt, .rtf or perhaps .doc format.
Usually, the reason for using some of these formats is that we might have some text styling which we...

How To
It feels odd writing a preface for an article this short, but what the hell. Anyway, these are some things that I wish that I had known when I started out. The existence of this "how-to" should in no way lead anyone to infer that I think that I am a top tier Literotica writer. I don't. What I do believe is that I'm better now than I was when I started.

How To
I often re-read stories that I like. My bookshelves groan with the weight of books collected over the last sixty odd years. To re-read the stories from the Literotica web site needs, at the very least, a note of the titles and authors. I lost track of three stories before I started making notes! Furthermore, on holiday at our caravan there is no way of conne...

Twenty years ago today, we registered the domain Literotica.com. Never ever in our wildest dreams could we have imagined what that decision would mean for our own lives - and for the lives of millions of authors and fiction fans around the globe.
It's difficult to remember what the world looked like back in 1998. Literotica started only four years after Ama...

After several disastrous attempts at submitting an .rtf file for my stories, I decided to start using basic HTML coding. As a former volunteer editor for Literotica, I've sent this particular file to others in the past to help them with formatting their stories. I still get quite a few of my 'regulars' who ask how to format their stories.
It's not much ext...

Non-Erotic
As I looked around the office, I noticed that everyone else had called it a day, with the exception of Dan Metallo, the Political Consultant for Rat Sass Online and my personal HTML critic and repairman. Knowing that he holds a personal distaste for attorneys, I figured I'd cheer him up a tad before he went home.
"Hey Danny," I began, yelling across the roo...

Ok, so you have just signed up to be able to post in the bulletin board. You go in there, find a place you want to say something, make a few posts perhaps, but then you notice things. Almost everyone has a picture under their names. There are pictures, links funny sayings and many other neat little bits under each of their posts. Wonder how they do it? T...

Erotic Couplings
Some Things Leave a Bad Taste In Your Mouth
This is a true story. It happened to me about ten years ago while I was camping up in the mountains of Tennessee. I had my camper parked in a big campground area. I had taken my girlfriend along with me for a three day get-away and was looking forward to just peace and quiet and relaxation. But little did I know t...
