HTML Fields
Rich text fields support HTML, and you can edit them using the default wysiwyg ("what you see is what you get") editor or the source view.
- A: Full-Screen View
- Edit your text in full-screen mode, much like a word processor. This enlarges the view to the full size of the browser window. Use the same button to return to the regular view.
- B: HTML Source View
- When in HTML Source View, you can edit HTML directly. Use the same button to return to the normal wysiwyg ("what you see is what you get") editor view. Note: The HTML editor only supports those elements that go inside the body. The editor strips out or alters elements such as doctype, HTML, head, and body in such a way that they don't function as they do in a full HTML document.
- Text Formatting
-
- Bold: Applies bold to selected text.
- Italic: Applies italics to selected text.
- Underline: Applies underline to selected text. Tip: Since it is common to underline links (to indicate that you can click them), avoid underlining text that is not a clickable link.
- Strikethrough: Applies -strikethrough- to selected text.
- Paragraph Formatting
-
- Numbered Lists: Creates a list with numbers.
- Bulleted Lists: Creates a list with bullets.
- Indent: Increases the left margin.
- Outdent: Decreases the left margin.
- Left Align: Paragraph is aligned on the left and ragged on the right.
- Center Align: Paragraph is centered.
- Right Align: Paragraph is ragged on the left and aligned on the right.
- Links
-
- Insert Link: This requires a link, link text (the visible underlined link), and a target URL.
- Remove Link: This removes a link but retains the text.
- Insert Image: You must insert these as a link to an image.
