  2. Summary

    'I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun,' she said; 'and behold! the Shadow has departed! I will be a shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.' And again she looked at Faramir. 'No longer do I desire to be a queen,' she said.

    Then Faramir laughed merrily. 'That is well,' he said; 'for I am not a king. Yet I will wed with the White Lady of Rohan, if it be her will. And if she will, then let us cross the River and in happier days let us dwell in fair Ithilien and there make a garden. All things will grow with joy there, if the White Lady comes.'

    —“The Steward and the King,” The Return of the King Book Six Chapter Five, JRR Tolkien

    Summary

    Explains:
     ● how to make a work skin;
     ● how to view fics' work skin rules;
     ● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
     ● how to turn all links blue-underscore automatically;
     ● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
     ● Site Skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works;
     ● even a quick way (code included) to simply make a Site Skin so that you can read everything in your font of preference!

    Full code is included.

    I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!
