Diagraming Plays on the Message Board

Because your Internet browser compresses many spaces into a single space, trying to diagram a play can not be accomplished without including a couple simple HTML commands into your message. Two commands are generally used. One the <PRE> HTML command instructs the browser to display the text as entered (thus eliminating the space compression problem). The other command the heading <H3> command (a H2 command will magnify it even more) tells the browser to enlarge the text. The HTML commands must be terminated with </H3> and </PRE> commands to return to normal text input.

Now using one of Dum Coach's recent posts as an example, the play...


           K
           K
           K

           
           O
           O
     C  I     I  C
           X
           K

is accomplished by adding the pre and H3 commands as shown next.

<pre><h3>Diagram Here</h3></pre>

Note 1: To center the diagram preceed it with the <center> command and end the centering with the </center> command. For example...

<center><pre><h3>Diagram Here</h3></pre></center>

Note 2: Upper or lower case characters inside of the < > brackets are treated the same.
