How to make a web page with txto
The only thing you have to give txto is the "Content." Txto takes care of the rest, but you can take advantage of these options:
- Custom URL
- This is the part that goes after "Txto.eu.org/" like "txto.eu.org/barry". Currently only accepts lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and dashes (-). If you put anything else in there, Txto will change it.
- Custom Edit Code
- Txto will give you a random edit code, but you can change it. You have to have this to make changes to the Txto, and it can never EVER be retrieved if lost.
- Title
- Give your Txto a relevant title so it shows up better when shared on social media, search results, and in browser windows.
- Author
- Let people know who made this! This shows up in some searches and social media posts, and your Twitter handle works really nicely if you post the link on Twitter.
- Description
- This is a short (200 character) summary of the page. This shows up in Twitter cards and search results. Txto will automatically use the first 200 characters of your Txto as a description if you don't provide one.
Make your Txto easy to read and understand
You can make your Txto robust and full-featured with links, images, lists, headings, and more. Txto uses a popular set of rules called Markdown.
- #Heading 1 = biggest heading
##Heading 2 = second biggest heading
###Heading 3 = third biggest, and so on - Two spaces (space bars) at the end of a line starts a new line.
- Return twice (leaving an empty line) starts a new paragraph.
- *italics* = italics
- **bold** = bold
- Links: [link to Txto](http://Txto.eu.org) = link to Txto (note: be sure to include the "http://" part of the link)
- Images*: ![Monkey selfie](http://i.imgur.com/FXSBf8c.jpg)
- Bulleted lists:
- Bulleted item a
- Bulleted item b
- Bulleted item c - Numbered lists:
1. Numbered item 1
2. Numbered item 2
3. Numbered item 3
*Images must be uploaded somewhere else (we recommend imgur.com). Because images can really slow down pages and we're all about "fast web pages for everybody," images are not displayed by default. The reader has the option of displaying the images in the page or just viewing links to them. See an example at Txto.eu.org/images.
