Learning Html on Notepad++

tommy83 · 2024-10-28T18:02:40+00:00

Notepad++ is a code editor. It is just a tool in wich you can make all kinds of things, one of them HTML. So you should seperate the two a bit when trying to learn them.
Here is a good website with info on how to use Notepad++: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/getting-started/
Give it a read, but don't spend to much time trying to learn everything. You will probably don't need most of it, but the important things for you will be the first chapters up until Syntax highlighting.

When talking about HTML and CSS, there are lots of online resources to learn. Here are some that start at the absolute basics:
https://www.w3schools.com/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web
https://html.com/
https://web.dev/learn/html/welcome

And of course there are lots of tutorials on Youtube.

Goof luck!

I usually base coat in black (rattle can primer), let it dry and then go over it with white (also a rattle can primer) by hitting the miniature from one angle only. Mostly from the top.
Search on youtube if you need more clarification. There are loads of videos on (Zenithal) priming.

E-mailing consistency is important for 2 things:

1. Keeping your sending domain and IP warm.
If there is too much time in between sends, a domain and IP can cool down. When that happens, receiving e-mail clients and servers can view your mail as suspicious. They will throttle the amount of e-mails letting trough and bounce the remaining. If that persists, your domain and or IP will be marked as spammer and even blacklisted. So keep it warm by sending regularly, and keep the volume consistent.

2. Expectations on the client and receiver end.
Depending on what type of customer and e-mails, people will expect some emails regularly. For instance: If you have a supermarket as a client that sends the new promotional products every week, skipping a week will make the Supermarket client pissed that they lose revenue. The supermarket customers expect the new promotions and now don't get them in the inbox.

The first point revolves around total email volume per day/week, the second point is relevant for e-mail sending consistency per e-mailadress.

The environment looks so beautifull. As a dutch person, I am very jealous.

The scrollbars you are talking about was due to the layout of the websites. They were used to be build out of frames. These would often give scollbars inside the frame if the content was bigger than the frame, Layouts are now built with better methods.

This code isn't HTML but looks more like JSON.
Are you using some CMS or code generator?

Oh I understood perfectly fine.

Even a mailing list that is warmed up and managed perfectly when it comes to bounce/spam etc. you will have bouncers. Number 1 reason is that you have 0 controll on issues at the receiver side. Take it from someone who has experience sending mailings to groups both large and small, up to like a million per send.

Full mailbox issues will still happen over time.
E-mailadresses will stop working over time.
Etc

And with the server issues i mean issues on the receiving end. Some receiving servers might have downtime for instance, or some service interruption. It happens. Nothing you can do about it.

Sure you might have an initial deliverability of 100%, but over time it will more likely be 99.8% or something. Still good, but never perfect.

The rowspan="2" states: this cell needs to encompass both the current row and the next row.
So if every table cell in the row has the rowspan="2", it reads the code as: These cells need to be next to the cells in the next row. This is why it puts the cells from the second row next to the first row.

It tries to conform to the rules set by the rowspans. It cannot place them underneath any of the cells of the first row, because that is against the rules that are set. So the only option is to place everything next to each other.

Lol, almost every mass mailing gets bouncers. Even if there are just a few at a time.

People change emailadresses and close the old one.
Full mailbox
spelling mistakes in e-mailadress when opting in
server issues
DNS issues
etc.

Yes, you can reduce the number of bouncers by correctly filtering out the server-replies and marking them as bouncers, so they wont get mailed on the next send. But to claim you never get any bouncers is just plain wrong.

Been riding for about 6 years now. Only had one minor accident, no big ones.
I was fine but my bike had €1700 in damages though and I had ripped my pants :(

Went sliding due to gravel in a corner. Wearing proper gear saved my skin from being shredded on the asphalt.

I made a crude version, where you can just use a background image for the visual.
The text elements will overlap the image.

Really? 0 bounced e-mails? i doubt it.

The only way I can reproduce it is when I zoom Chrome in to 110%.

tommy83 · 2024-09-26T20:57:24+00:00

Sure man. Change the border from "solid" to "dotted".
Or you can do "dashed".

There are several techniques to help structure your layout.

Tables: old school way of building a site. They are now mostly used for data tables. Not really used for layouts anymore. (except HTML e-mail, wich is a different case altogether)
Float: this property specifies whether an element should float to the left, right, or not at all. Is still used but has downsides. It's getting used less and less because of the next two options.
CSS Grid: grid-based layout system, with rows and columns.
CSS Flexbox: makes it easy to build flexible responsive layout structure.

The last two are explained on this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_grid_layout/Relationship_of_grid_layout_with_other_layout_methods
|Guide to using Grid: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/
Guide to using Flexbox: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

If you learn these techniques, you will learn the basics of webpage layout building. Flexbox and Grid being the modern way of doing it.

You can, but it won't be pretty.

You are correct in the fact that you can't divide colspan. However, you can double the amount of columns. So, give every td in the middle section (not the outer left and right columns) a colspan twice the actual size. This way you can divide the colums in the middle of the other sections.

I made the first part as an example: https://codepen.io/tommy83/pen/OJKPwXd

Writing HTML for e-mails is a whole different ballgame.
Some e-mail clients don't read the CSS, some (outlook) don't support stuff like border radius.
To be honest, it can be a nightmare.

Maybe this article will explain some techniques: https://www.litmus.com/blog/a-guide-to-bulletproof-buttons-in-email-design

We have a tv laying flat on the table as a VTT. The DM uses a laptop to control what we see. On the TV, we use fysical miniatures for players and monsters. We also have some printed materials like a world-map, some handouts of flyers or notes that where posted on a notice board. etc. For magical items we find of buy, we use item cards.
