This guide was tested on an Android phone and looks fine, but YMMV. There may also be differences between Google Chrome and Firefox (and other browsers).

1. Centred "Dropshadows"
1. Centred "Dropshadows"

As you may have noticed, the guild is not like other forums in its BBCode. Which is to say, it is functional* but lacking in depth. Many other forums have the text-glow command or something like it which allow users to produce dropshadows on text – useful to make headers pop on the dark grey background.

Example

dropshadow
dropshadow

no dropshadow

.

We can't make a proper dropshadow on the Guild (as far as I know) but with judicious use of sup, sub, and header codes, we can manage a good approximation. Here's the code:

[center]
[sup][h2]
[color=black]dropshadow [/color]
[color=555151]dropshadow[/color]
[/h2][/sup]
[/center]

Simple, right? This should be plug-and-go, but here's how it works, because this is a base for everything else in the guide:

• [center] – Self-explanatory, but this code only works for centred dropshadows. See next section for lefties.

• [sup][h2] – The bit that causes it to work. The[sup]or[sub]must be on the outside of the header [h2]. This works by forcing all of the following lines of text into one line, causing it to overlap (because uhhh Guild code).

• [color=black]dropshadow [/color] – Your shadow layer. Make sure the text matches what is in step 4, but add a space after the last letter. This space shifts it out of alignment, providing a shadow on the left side.

• [color=555151]dropshadow[/color] – The last line of code will always end up on top of the previous, so this is your coloured text layer. Go mad with that hex, but make sure the text matches.

• [/h2][/sup][/center] – Closing tags. In my experience, where most of the errors occur.

^{▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅

2. Left-Aligned "Dropshadows"
2. Left-Aligned "Dropshadows"

Okay, when I said the code from Part 1 wouldn't work for left-aligned dropshadows, it was maybe an exaggeration. The code is almost identical minus the use of[center]and the only difference is where we put the spaces.

So, since left-aligned text is flush with the boundaries, we don't need to bump the shadow layer on the right-hand side, we just need to bump the top layer on the left. Let's try that:

[sup][h2][color=black]failed dropshadow[/color]
[color=555151] failed dropshadow[/color][/h2][/sup]

Oh. Uh. Something isn't quite right.

Result

failed dropshadow
failed dropshadow

.

The code is fine here. It should work. The problem with left-aligned drop-shadows is that the standard space is too big and leaves a gap between the letters. To fix this, we can use Unicode spaces which vary in width. This website is a good resource for the spaces in question, easy to copypaste from. Using the "hair-space" from this page, the code would be:

[sup][h2][color=black]dropshadow[/color]
[color=555151] dropshadow[/color][/h2][/sup]

And what we get is:

Better Result

dropshadow
 dropshadow

3. Like an Onion, Layered
3. Like an Onion, Layered

So, you can make dropshadows with the combination of[sup]or[sub]on the outside of any header tag, eg.[h1]– but this code can be used to do other things, too. This section will be less how things work and more a list of things that somehow work using the above as a template.

Intertwined | Pokemon

While Zola didn't not remember Flynn Arata, neither did she remember Flynn looking quite like they did now: perfect in poise, like a ballerina or a supermodel serving face. It was less akin to the home-grown beauties they had in New Bark – Kat with her costumes, Nao with her whole everything, and reluctantly Kiel – and more... More. She didn't like the first words she thought of to describe it, and buried herself further under her shawls. Better not to worry about it. Some people had gorgeous red hair and fancy travelling cloaks, and some people (like Zola) were (probably) good at other other things.

They were reuniting with old friends, too, good for them. Zola had to hand it to Cho – she managed to get most of their generation present now for the trip.

As one by one the trailblazers of the group began to rush ahead, Zola suggested, "Maybe we should... conserve energy. Stick a bit closer together in case of wild Pokemon attacks..." When even Dante's Poochyena decided that Kiel's plan to race was a valid one, she sighed, hiking up her bag further to settle on her shoulder. "Or, or I guess we can not do that."

But even Zola herself was challenged in what would become known as The Worst Betrayal Of All Time by Nao. She wasn't allowed to just coast by at the rear of the group, she had to jog. Even just sprinting to fall in line with her friend had her sweating, the travel pots and pans in her luggage clattering off each other with every second step.

"Nao, I didn't even get a chance to stretch!"

Duo stopped screeching in a tone that was far less eerie than the actual Nata and nearly rolled off Zola's padded shoulder when it re-transformed, and Mr. Spike was clinging on for dear life to the handle of her backpack like a rider might hold on to a saddle, and Zola herself was going to pull a muscle for sure on the journey if they kept up a pace like this for the whole thing.

Maybe all of the muscles.
