Much of the following may seem pretty obvious to those familiar with Web Page design, but I'm going to be fairly comprehensive anyways for those without a clue on how it's done.
I've learned quite a few things through trial and error on how to use a WYSIWYG html composer to produce better looking character sheets (among other things). I use SeaMonkey's composer. Seamonkey features a Web-browser, advanced e-mail, a newsgroup and feed client, IRC chat, and HTML editing. If you prefer not to use this product, it's more that likely that other composers like, KompoZer, have a similar format. Both SeaMonkey and KompoZer are free, downloadable products, as are many other WYSIWYG composers.
First of all, you're going to have to have both the composer and your web browser up (another reason to use Seamonkey for this).
Secondly, and most importantly, you have to go into the composer's preferences and change the settings so that it does not use CSS styles. (It took me a while to realize that I needed to do this.) For some reason RPM has some issues with CSS, especially if you use a lot of it. It is better to save yourself the headache and not use it.
In most cases using a html composer should be fairly intuitive; if it's not download a different one. SeaMonkey's layout is much like Microsoft Word, so accessing the basic features should be familiar to any novice.
Any Composer should have at least two ways to view the page. The first will be the "Normal View" this will operate much like Microsoft Office and you will be able to format the page in a similar method. The second view will show the actual html code.
Okay, if the above seems kind of complicated don't worry it really isn't. Here how it's done:
Step 1:
After setting the preference so that the composer will not use CSS, go into normal view. From there start formatting the page as you would in any Word Processing Program, it should be fairly similar.
Step 2:
When you have the page completed go into your HTML code view. For SeaMonkey there is a tab for it at the bottom. From there copy everything between <body> and </body> and simply paste it into your post.
Step 3. At the beginning of the post add <noformat /> and submit the post.
Step 4: In the composer, save your final character/post. That way it will be easy to edit later.
Example follows:
-- Nothing easy is ever simple.
