Summary
There are some great quick guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide, dividing all of the available tags into the following categories:
1. Text Formatting (in-line HTML)
2. Page Formatting (block HTML)
3. Tables and Lists
4. Links and ImagesEach tag will have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example.
It will also introduce tag attributes, ways to further refine formatting, for a few simple - but widely applicable - cases.

Summary
As of April 2016, The database that stores works on A03 does not allow emoji. If you try to add an emoji it will end your story there. Any words after the emoji? Poof. Gone. This is a known, if poorly advertised, issue with the archive.
There are some workarounds; you can find them in: How to Make iOS Text messages on A03. But here? Here is for ALL THE EMOJI*.
10 chapters of emoji tables, each with the HTML for putting the emoji into your work and the CSS for putting it into your workskin. Copy-Paste baby. Copy-Paste.
*Does not contain the 2016 Unicode release. You'll have to come up with the code for pickle yourselves.
(Note, because this is 10 chapters of emoji tables, here is a link to the Index Tables (chapter 1) to speed up load times and reduce confusion if you have preferences set to "entire work.")

Summary
a work skin that mimics the program Discord (for chatfics or fics that feature use of it!)
made this skin over a couple days; it won't look good on mobile or with creator's style disabled but the html is pretty easy to customise!
(Note: some folks in the comments have been kind enough to share some fixes for a few of the problems!)If you use it, crediting and linking back here so other people can find it is appreciated :)
EDIT: I haven't updated this in quite some time so I'm giving blanket permission for people to share their own fixed and improved versions of the code! Just link back here so people can find some help for how to use it. happy writing!

Summary
This is a personal experiment with HTML. It is a very limited list with what I find useful.
Update: Somehow I find more and more stuff useful, so this list is not that limited (and not that private) anymore. I'll improve it with time and according to my needs. I just realized, this will never be "complete" and there is no final number of chapters.
So far that's posted:

Part Two: Lines
Part Three: Footnotes and Links
Part Four: Columns and Skins
Part Five: Pictures
Part Six: Choose Your Own Adventure
Part Seven: Chapter Title

This is a flaming dumpster filled with CSS and HTML experiments. It's not instructional, but I post the code and my own explanations for both our sakes. Feel free to steal the code or ask me questions- I don't know what I'm doing. :)
(Pics are mine though)
Chapter 5 is probably what you're looking for ;)
It seems I've broken Ao3 yet again. I can no longer add more code to my work skin so we're moving on to part two!I'm not going to say I take requests, but I'm always looking for inspiration.

Summary
A series of semi related fics where html is used as a major part of the story telling. experimental story telling, experimental html use, and a lot of reader interactive moments in the stories are present.
- Caffeine Brewed: Used an existing twitter skin to experiment with. A little messy, but it was my first dip into epistolary story telling.
- tired quaranteens: a lot of custom skins made by me. new html gimmicks in almost every chapter. choose your own adventure segment in ch 6 and an interactive segment in ch 7
- do you believe in coincidences?: written in the 2nd person - an interactive game where you explore a mysterious phone and decide who it belongs to, which affects the ending you get. There's more than 1 identity reveal, especially if you get the secret ending 😉 mild references to Caffeine Brewed if you squint.
- the hottest topic: phantom works at hot topic, and the internet suspects he's secretly half ghost, what does that even mean anyway?

Summary
“Oh my God,” the girl says.
It’s not the oddest exclamation Eddie’s heard from a person who’s just crashed their car into a telephone pole, but more the way it’s said: something dizzied and a little resigned, as though she is both concussed and mostly just inconvenienced by it. It’s enough for Eddie to peer into the window as Buck heaves at the car door with the jaws of life, armed with a penlight. “Ma’am, can you tell me your name?”
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” the girl says, which doesn’t quite sound like a name to Eddie. He’s just about to tell her as much until she goes, “You’re LAFD Updates man.”
or, five times someone recognises Eddie as the LAFD Updates man.

Shinsou Hitoshi wakes up— with hands too small and memories that shouldn’t belong to him— but, he wakes up.The last thing Hitoshi will ever see is Eri screaming— Eri dying.
God, he failed, he failed Aizawa-sensei’s order, he failed his promise to make sure Eri lives.
(He’s so fucking useless, couldn’t even keep his own sister safe. He wonders why they think that he could have saved them all, why they even believed in him.)Hitoshi turns to dust.
His only thought is this: He’d going to save Eri even if it kills him (again).HIATUS as of 10/9/2022. NOT ABANDONED
