2.4 - Article Content Regulations (HTML Tags):
Author Submission Guidelines!

2.4) HTML Tags:

HTML should be used by professionals only. Too many amateur HTML programmers submit unwanted HTML tags, and also submit improperly formatted website links.

2.4.1) - Acceptable HTML Terms:

Martin Lemieux (Article99.com Owner) has created a full article sample for you to browse through and learn how to created HTML for your articles. HTML can be used within your article body and within author resource box.

2.4.2) - Paragraphs Tags:

<p>Paragraph tags should only be used at the <p>beginning of your paragraph... and at the end.</p>

DO NOT POST <p>&nbsp;</p> Between every paragraph. This form of spacing is hard to remove and is not allowed within our system.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
Our editors look down at authors who abuse the paragraph tag in this fashion.

2.4.3) - Bold & Strong Tags:

<b>Bolding</b> & <strong>strong</strong> text is acceptable within your article body as long as you make sure to </b> close the tag so that your entire article doesn't end up being bolded entirely.

2.4.4) - Line Breaks: <br>

Breaking to another line is necessary. Please do NOT use line breaks for each line of text that you have. This forbidden strategy is called "hard breaks" as mention above. Use <br> line breaks within your paragraphs to show multiple paragraphs instead of one continuous blob of text.

Use <br> instead of <p>&nbsp;</p>

2.4.5) - Underline Tags:

<u>Underlining some text is acceptable</u>. Underlining your entire article, or an entire paragraph is not acceptable. Use this tag to highlight certain keywords or main points within your articles.

2.4.6) - Using Italics:

<i>Italicizing</i> certain text to quote someone, or just to create a different effects is acceptable. Many authors like to use italics within their author resource box.

2.4.7) - Creating a Bullet List:

This is a great feature when showing multiple options!

<ul>
<li>List feature number one
<li>List feature number two
<li>List feature number three
</ul>

2.4.8) - Creating a Numbered List:

This is a great feature when showing multiple options!

<ol>
<li>List feature number one
<li>List feature number two
<li>List feature number three
</ol>

2.4.9) - Creating Active Links:

<a title="Creating Links" href="http://tutorials.article99.com" target="_blank">Creating Links</a>

Creating links is acceptable (3 link maximum per article), BUT you must maintain a perfect link tag. There will be no substitutes here. Anything wrong with your linking code and we WILL return your articles as problematic. Your active link code should include a title, website, open a new windown, and anchor text.
