Header
=======================================
A default header file is included in all except the main index pages:
The UESP: Page Title
Note: This page has been moved to the new UESP-Wiki. The same content, just a different presentation.
This page very likely contains outdated information (last updated in 2005).
The header includes all the required javascript and stylesheet links and
displays the standard UESP image, 5 main page links, the page title and the
page date. For main index pages.

is used instead. It contains everything except the UESP image and page title.

A number of commonly used standard styles are available.

BOLD2: Green, Arial, Bold, 9pt text. Used for titles/headers.
BOLD3: Light Blue, Arial, Bold, 9pt text. Used for titles/headers.
ERROR: Red, Arial, Bold, 9pt text. Used for error messages.
TITLE2: Light Blue, Biege, Arial, Bold, 14pt text. Used for main titles.
DATE1: Biege, Arial, Small text. Used for date fields.
To use these styles include them in any tag or by themselves in a SPAN tag:
Title
I've found that these are adequate for just about any page design. If you need
something else, let me know.
Image Links
=======================================
All images on the site (screenshots, artwork, etc...) should be linked via the
image.shtml file for a consistent display and for counting purposes. The format
is:
Screenshot
The "" path is automatically prepended to the link and should not be
present. The image page displays the full image path as a title, the image's
date and size, the actual image followed by a 'Back' link and the default page
footer.
File Links
=======================================
All downloads on the site should be linked via the file.shtml file for a
consistent display and counting statistics. The format is:
RedEdit
The file page displays the full file name, its date and size, a 'Back' button
and the standard page footer. The file download is started by a META refresh
command (a file link is also provided if it doesn't work). Make sure that any
files you link to actually exist.
Text Links
=======================================
All text files on the site should be linked via the text.shtml for a consistent
display and counting statistics. The format is:
RG Textures
The text page displays the file as a regular text would be shown, except the
standard page footer is included at the bottom of the page.
SHTML Commands
=======================================
There are a few SHTML commands that make life managing the site a lot easier.
The FSIZE command displays the size of a file in kb/mb and is useful for any
downloads or file areas (you don't have to manual enter or update any file
sizes anymore).
1.4M
The FLASTMOD command displays the last modified data of a file and is useful
for any type of file.

If you do use the FLASTMOD in a file, you will have to include the line
at the top of the file so that dates are displayed in the form '9 May 1999'.
URL References
=======================================
For the sake of consistency, always use absolute URLs in any anchor link. The
pages are not always displayed in their own path (such as for the print display)
and relative URLs cause problems.
ex: Items WRONG
Items RIGHT
It takes a little longer to write but saves trouble in the long run. The same
thing goes for images.
Horizontal Rules
=======================================
There are two main rule types used in the UESP. A thick, gold bar is displayed
as:
The width and height fields can be varied to suit your needs. Try not too
overuse this type. The second one is the standard HTML rule:
This is convienant for breaking the page into various sections. The default
width is 100% and the default height is 2.
Overall Page Example
=======================================
The following is just a short example of a typical UESP SHTML page.
The UESP: Page Title
