Post Editor Help
A simplified HTML like syntax, using square brackets in place of '<' and '>' is interpreted with the Post Editor.
This simplified syntax has a limited vocabulary, enabling the most common functions. It IS case sensitive.
Should you have a need to extend this vocabulary, discuss with Stu as it is not difficult to do.
Tags can be nested - several applying to the text being acted upon.
Tags are normally, but not always, used in pairs to surrouind the text being modified. For example [b][RED]This is now Bold Red[/C][/b]
Tags included in this tool's current vocabulary include the following:
[center] ... [/center] - centers text and/or images between open and close on width of page
[ctr]... [/ctr] - same as [center] ...
[br] hard break - forces a new line wherever placed - use two or three in a row to space down - no pairing needed
[/] - line break - same as [br]
[] - hard space - Forces a space - normally HTML ignores all all spaces it encounters after the first one - repeat as desired
['] - apostrophy - Forces display of an ' but storage as ' to avoid HTML from adding backslash - If you see \' replace with [']
[hr] horizontal rule - inserts a horizontal line - no pairing needed - this creates a line break
[p] ... [/p] starts & stops a new paragraph - this creates a line break - typically same as [pl]...
[pc] ... [/p] starts & stops a new centered paragraph - always starts a new line (like a line break) - centered on width of page
[pl] ... [/p] starts & stops a new left justified paragraph - always starts a new line (like a line break) - left justified on page
[pr] ... [/p] starts & stops a new right justified paragraph - always starts a new line (like a line break) - right justified on page
[h1] ... [/h1] 6 variations - create a bold heading of size 1 (largest) to 6 (smallest)
FONT:
[b] ... [/b] bold
[i] ... [/i] italics
[F1] ... [/F] tiny font - font size 1 - [f1] ... [/f] works too, - can use f1 thru f8 inclusive
...
[F8] ... [/F] large font - font size 8 - [f8] ... [/f] works too,
[RED] ... [/C] font color=RED - [red] ... [/c] works too!
[BLUE] ... [/C] font color=BLUE - [blue]...[/c] "
[BLACK] ... [/C] font color=BLACK - [black]...[/c] "
IMAGE:
[img] ... [/img] e.g. [img]test.jpg[/img] enter file name with the .jpg or .gif suffix but no directory info.
[Ability to control size of display has not been included to keep simple, ask if needed.]
HYPERLINK:
[a] link [,] text to display [/a] link must include full e.g. http://anotherSite.com, relative (starts with period) e.g. ./img24/test.jpg or
absolute (starts with /) path reference e.g. /bruno/kwindex.html => confirm all with Stu
EXAMPLE:
[center][h2]This is a centered H2 Heading within a Post[/h2][/center]
[][][][][]This is just plain text typed within the entry field with a five space indentation but no other html controls and shows that text will always wrap automatically.
[pl]This is text under the control of pl - left justified paragraph html[/p]
[pc]This is text under the control of pc - centered paragraph html[/p]
[pr]This is text under the control of pr - left justified paragraph html[/p]
[F1]font size 1[/F] - [f4]4[/f][f8] - 8[/f]
