Using HTML Formatting

Tag

Description

Example

Anchor

This tag creates hyperlinks. It is not needed in Training Studio due to the fact that adding hyperlinks does the formatting for you, but you can use them if desired.

<a href='http://www.plattecanyon.com' target='links'>Click here to go to plattecanyon.com</a>

Bold

This makes the text bold.

This makes the text <b>bold</b>.

Break

The makes line breaks in the text. This is not needed since the Training Studio Content Editor supports hard returns.

This is line 1 and <br> this is line 2.

Font

This allows you to specify a particular font face, color, or size for a set of text.

<font color='#FF0000'>This is red text</font>

<font face='Times, Times New Roman'>This displays as Times font or Times New Roman font (if available)</font>

<font size='14' color='#0000FF'>This is blue, 14-point text</font>

Image

This allows you embed external image files, Flash files, and even movie clips inside your text fields. The src attribute is required. You can also set the id for a movie clip inside the template movie, the width, the height, the align (default is left), hspace (horizontal space around the image - the default is 8), and the vspace (vertical space around the image - the default is 8).

This is the training studio logo: <img src='http://www.plattecanyon.com/images/trainingstudio.gif'>

This is the training studio logo from the \media directory. Note that the path is relative from the Flash templates and not the database. <img src='content/Test/media/trainingstudio.gif'>

Italic

This makes the text in italics.

This makes the text in <i>italics</i>.

List Item

This makes the elements have bullets. For example, you could have:

Heading:

• Item 1

• Item 2

• Item 3

In our testing, the list item tags do not work well when combined in the same field with other HTML tags.

Note that if you want graphical bullets, you can use the pipe | symbol instead of the List Item tag.

Heading:

<li>Item 1</li>

<li>Item 2</li>

<li>Item 3</li>

Paragraph

This makes a new paragraph and optionally can set the alignment of the text.

This paragraph is left aligned. <p align='right'>This paragraph is right aligned.</p>

Tab

Inserts tabs into the text. See the Text Format tags below for a method to set custom tab stops.

These are tab stops: <tab>One<tab>Two<tab>Three<tab>Four

Text Format

This allows complex formatting. You can set the blockIndent, indent, leading, leftmargin, rightmargin, and tabstops attributes.

This is line 1<br><textformat blockindent='50'>This is line two</textformat>

Underline

This makes the text underlined.

This makes the text <u>underlined</u>.
