For the text to be recognized as HTML, it must START with a tag of some sort. The FONT tag is a good first choice, but anything in angle brackets (greater-than, less-than) will work, even “<HTML>”. If the book text starts with words, then any tags in the body of it will be displayed. This way, a plaintext document with < and > used individually won’t be confused with actual HTML. | For the text to be recognized as HTML, it must START with a tag of some sort.

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. | |||

In HTML, the entire image file is always displayed, squishing or stretching it to fit the provided width and height, or using the file’s actual sizes if no width or height is stated. In Oblivion, all DDS files must have file sizes that are powers of two (32, 64, 128, 256, etc). Since you may have images of non-powers-of-2 sizes that you wish to display, the width and height are handled differently in books. You cannot stretch or squish an image in a book, you can only crop. This means that with a width and height of 64 (as in the example above) only the top-left 64x64 section of the image file will be used. The rest of the image file will be ignored. (Naming the files with the correct width and height to display them is probably good practice. Use the full resolution sizes for all resolutions of the image. | In HTML, the entire image file is always displayed, squishing or stretching it to fit the provided width and height, or using the file’s actual sizes if no width or height is stated.

NB: The largest Image size possible is 444 x 650 pixels. Go over this and the book will crash when opened in game. | |||
