Description
What is HTML?HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It's used when making a website, and available to use on deviantART to customise what you are writing.
Once you memorise the HTML, it's pretty easy and fun to use.
You can find some codes on the deviantART FAQ #104, but they don't give you all of them.
You can use the codes I am about to give you in artist comments, journal entries, blog entries, profile pages, and more importantly comments!
Literature pieces have less codes available to use than what I just mentioned, but there's still a fair few you can play around with.
especially everyone's favourite emoticons.

Place at the beginning of your sentence and at the end for it to appear in bold.
Example: Bold turns into Bold.
You can also use instead of .
Example: Strong turns into Strong.
Underline
Place at the beginning of your sentence and at the end for it to be underlined.
Example: Underline turns into Underline
Italics
Place at the beginning of your sentence and at the end for it to be in italics.
Example: Italics turns into Italics
and can be used instead of . It stands for emphasis, and does the exact same thing:

Superscript
Place at the beginning of your sentence and at the end for it to be in Superscript.
Example: Superscript turns into Superscript.
Subscript
While Subscript and Superscript look similar, they are in fact different.
Place at the beginning of your sentence and at the end for it to be in Supscript.
Example: Suprscript turns into Subscript
See? Superscript floats up at the top, while Subscript goes down low.
hai hai hai hai hai <- You can create funky things like this when playing with Subscript and Superscript
and can be used to make font go small like and .
However, and do not work in literature submission, so I can't show you an exmaple.
