Talk:The Last Horcrux/Read The Fragmented Soul

For Mr Pib or another reader more skilled with formatting than I; is it possible to change the font of the text of the book on this page, and give the text a background colour like that of old yellowed paper or parchment? An old fashioned font would be good. If this is possible I might remove the italicisation and only italicise the spells and magic items.

Thanks in advance - if you can do this please go ahead, I can always edit or change it back if I don’t like it Emily (talk) 20:09, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

MediaWiki uses CSS but I'm not entirely sure how to do it. An easier way, would be to generate an image of "old paper", then use Photoshop, or whatever tool, to add custom text with the font you desire; and finally, you add random bits of transparency to the text, so that it appears that the ink has faded. Save results as an image.

While it can be annoying to do it this way, it is still easier than having to create CSS for multiple different fonts, simulating different people's handwriting.

Once you have the image on the page, you can also include the text of the images, so that it is legible. (When using "translate this webpage", sometimes the css that changes the font will prevent it from being translated. --MrPib (talk) 23:03, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
