Tags Options
Options in this panel will control what values are inserted for pre-defined tags and what custom tags will be available.
Standard Tags
- Bold:
- This tag will automatically wrap itself around whatever text is selected when Bold is selected from the main menu or toolbar. While it defaults to b it can be changed to another HTML tag, i.e. strong
- Italics:
- This tag will automatically wrap itself around whatever text is selected when Italics is selected from the main menu or toolbar. While it defaults to i it can be changed to another HTML tag, i.e. em
- Underline:
- This tag will automatically wrap itself around whatever text is selected when Underline is selected from the main menu or toolbar. While it defaults to u it can be changed to another HTML tag, i.e. strike
- Image:
- This tag is used in junction with the the Upload Image feature. On the Upload dialog, there is an option to "Insert IMG tag" after the upload is completed; the tag that is inserted is defined by this field. The tag can be anything - the field [IMAGELINK] will be substituted with the actual link from the Upload Image dialog before it is inserted. Also, a [ALTTAG] placeholder can be used for the ALT text that is entered on the Upload Image dialog. It can be something simple like the default of <img src="[IMAGELINK]"> or something more elaborate like <a href="[IMAGELINK]" target="_blank"><img src="[IMAGELINK]" width="320" height="240" border="0" alt="[ALTTAG]"></a> (which would fix the show image at 320x240 and link it to the full-sized image
in a new browser window).
- Reset to Defaults
- Clicking this will reset Bold, Italics, Underline, and Image to their default values.
Custom Tags
There are up to ten available slots for custom tags; they all act the same way in function, but they will insert different information, depending on how they are configured.
Adding or Editing custom tags:
- Insert some text to be considered a tag, for example: p or br
- Decide whether or not this tag should wrap around the text, like p would or be a self containt tag, like br
- Compare what you see next to the check box to what you expected the tag to do and tweak your text.
It's that simple! For tags that have attributes, like a div would, those can also be included; if you select "Enclosing tag", you'll see that the attribute does not appear in the closing tag, as is proper.
Custom tags are triggered via the main menu, toolbar and keyboard shortcuts; if the less than ten items are displayed, it means that less than ten tags have been assigned in the options. The keyboard shortcuts are Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, to Ctrl+0 respectively; the menu and toolbar items incorrect shows them with a D.
