Summary
Essentially, I write on a mobile device and therefore have to use HTML instead of rich text. I decided to conduct an experiment and these were the results.
If you're having trouble with formatting, this might help...?
[For HTML basics, click "About" on the hotbar up ^ there, then "FAQ" and find your way from there)

Summary
This is a safe space for people to come to learn how to code HTML formatting in their Ao3 works and comments (yes! it works for both, I've tested it!)
IT ALSO INCLUDES- How to format your text (bold, italic, strikethrough, headings, line breaks, dot and ordered points, etc.)
- How to simplify links!
- How to 'click here' to show text (good for long comments!)
- How to Embed Images and Gifs! (comments and fanart!)
- How to apply and edit your own Site/Work Skin for AO3!
Feel free to comment on the work to test out your experiments!

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

Summary
This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
EDIT 6/28/17: The third chapter now shows how to use anchor links as an index/table of contents.
