'''Warning:''' Do not use “ speech marks when coding or in writing, only " or ”, the main reason being that “ speech marks tend to disrupt coding. The book will still work, but parts of the coding will be obvious in game (such as having < marks everywhere), and the coding may not have taken effect.

Get into the practice of omitting the quatation marks from the tag you use.  <FONT face="1"> compiles the same as <FONT face=1>.  This way, if you do want to use quotation marks, you can do so without borking your book.
Get into the practice of omitting the quotation marks from the tags you use.  <nowiki><FONT face="1"></nowiki> compiles the same as <nowiki><FONT face=1></nowiki>.  This way, if you do want to use quotation marks, you can do so without borking your book.
Example:  
Example: <nowiki><FONT face=3></nowiki>Buy the book at "First Edition".<nowiki></FONT></nowiki>
<FONT face=3>Buy the book at "First Edition"</FONT>
Will appear in game as: Buy the book at "First Edition".
Will appear in game properly.

Differences: As with the font tag (see <nowiki><FONT></nowiki> below), the div tags do not nest as they would in HTML.  
Differences: As with the font tag (see <nowiki><FONT></nowiki> below), the div tags do not nest as they would in HTML.
 
If you do nest tags, the <nowiki><DIV></nowiki> tag is destroyed when followed by a <nowiki></FONT></nowiki> tag.
Example: <nowiki><DIV align=right></nowiki>Mytext<nowiki><FONT face=3></nowiki>is a handwritten<nowiki></FONT></nowiki>note.<nowiki></DIV></nowiki>
With normal HTML tags, the result would be:
                                                    Mytext is a handwritten note.
But in game the book will be formatted:
                                                          Mytext is a handwritten
note.
