HTML text box
(Most advanced)
Recommended for: Lengthy documents composed offline and containing complex formatting.
Not recommended for: Brief notes that require little or no formatting.
Advantages: Available for all text boxes (except Syllabus) when the Text Formatting Editor is disabled in Account Preferences. You do not have to have a complete understanding of HTML in order to achieve basic formatting with HTML tags in WebTycho.
Disadvantages: HTML in WebTycho is used differently than HTML you may be familiar with. Please read this page carefully before proceeding.
Conditions:
- To use an HTML text box you must disable the Text Formatting Editor (and vice versa) with Account Preferences.
- When composing HTML documents with Microsoft Word 2000, be sure to first scan your document with the filter before including the text in WebTycho text boxes.
- Do not use HTML tags in WebTycho title boxes.
- Do not attach HTML files in WebTycho.
To enable: Go to Account Preferences and click disable beside Text Formatting Editor.
Step 1: Choose One of these Four Methods.
OPTION A - Use a WebTycho Plain Text Box
1. In Account Preferences disable Text Formatting Editor.
2. Open a create/edit page.
3. For "Enter Text Type": select "Plain Text" radio button
4. Type the HTML code in the text box, and enclose the each statement with square brackets [ ]. For example
OPTION B - Use a WebTycho HTML text box
1. Go to Account Preferences and disable Text Formatting Editor.
2. Open a create/edit page.
3. For "Enter Text Type": select "HTML" radio button and simply type the
text and code in the text box.
OPTION C - Publish your HTML file to a web server and link to it with TFE text box.
1. Go to Account Preferences and enable the Text Formatting Editor.
2. Type in the URL in the text box
3. Highlight it and click the LINK button.
4. Type in the URL or referencing text in the link box and then click OK.
OPTION D - Use file zipping software
Zip the HTML files and then attach the .zip file to a WebTycho text box. This solution makes the files smaller and helps with server speed. It also "disguises" the HTML within an acceptable format. Try WinZIP (http://www.winzip.com/) or another comparable file zipping program.
Step 2: Next, apply these modifications.
- Do not use HTML in any WebTycho title box
- Note: Any text between pairs of square brackets surrounding greater/less than brackets will not appear at all. These are interpreted as HTML tags.
- Do not use the following tags in any WebTycho text box. WebTycho has these tags already built in. Typing them again may cause problems for you, including errors in the button bar in Conferences. Manually delete these tags from HTML documents that you copy and paste into WebTycho.
<HTML> </HTML>
<HEAD> </HEAD>
<TITLE> </TITLE>
<BODY> </BODY>
<INPUT> </INPUT>
and
ALL JAVASCRIPT TAGS
If you include these tags and attempt to submit, you will receive this warning and you will not be allowed to submit until your text is free of these tags.
Warning! The body of this note contains HTML tags that are known to cause problems when used within WebTycho. Please remove the extraneous tags (<html>,</html>,<head>,</head>,<body>,</body> or any javascript).
