Bludomain's HTML Tips and Tricks:
Flash allows a small selection of html tags to be used in text. Below is a sample of html tags that can be used in your paragraphs on your content pages.
| Tag | Use | Example | ||||||||
| <b></b> | to bold text | normal text <b> bold text </b> back to normal text | ||||||||
| <i> </i> | make text italic (if font has italic version) |
normal text <i> italic text </i> back to normal text | ||||||||
| <u> </u> | make text underlined | normal text <u> underlined text </u> back to normal text | ||||||||
| <p></p> | breaks up paragraphs - sets aligning for text | <p align="center">Centered text</p>
|
||||||||
| <br> | seperates two sections onto lines | this is text<br>now this text would be on the second line. Example: this is text |
||||||||
| <a> </a> | how to link to a website or page within your site | The code below would open a file on your server called mypage.html
in a new window. The code below would open a file from a different web site called mypage.html |
||||||||
| <font></font> | this tag has the following attributes that can be combined. the value after the '=' has to be in quotations. ie- this (color="#FF0000") not this (color=#FF0000). The colors have to be in hexidecimal form | |||||||||
