Editize provides a WYSIWYG interface for your users to edit simple HTML documents in forms on your Web site. It provides two types of formatting features:
These two sets of tools are clearly separated in the applet's toolbar. All of these features are explained in detail in this section.
Paragraphs may be assigned one of 5 styles in Editize. In addition, paragraphs may be left-, center-, or right-aligned, may be indented, and may be items in bulleted or numbered lists.
<p>
tag in the output document. If you assign a font, size, or color to the Normal
style (see the documentation for your chosen API), you should assign the same
attributes to the <p>
tag with Cascading Style<h1>
tag in the output document. If you assign a font, size, or color to the Heading
style (see the documentation for your chosen API), you should assign the same
attributes to the <h1>
tag with Cascading Style Sheets
when you display the output documents.<h2>
tag in the output document. If you assign a font, size, or color to the Heading
style (see the documentation for your chosen API), you should assign the same
attributes to the <h2>
tag with Cascading Style Sheets
when you display the output documents.<pre>
tag in the
output document. The font for this paragraph style is fixed, but you can set
a background color to set monospaced paragraphs apart (see the documentation
for your chosen API). If you assign a background color, you should assign
the same color to the <pre>
tag using Cascading Style Sheets
when you display the output documents.All paragraph styles except Monospaced allow an alignment to be set. For
Normal (<p>
), Heading (<h1>
), and Subheading
(<h2>
) paragraphs, this is reflected by an align
attribute in the output document. For Inset (<blockquote>
)
paragraphs, a style
attribute is used instead, as <blockquote>
does not support the align attribute.
For citations, notes, and other paragraphs that should be set apart, indenting a block wraps it in a <blockquote>
tag in the output document. If you assign a font, size, or color to indented blocks (see the documentation for your chosen API), you should assign the same attributes to the <blockquote>
tag with Cascading Style Sheets when you display the output documents.
Editize supports bullet lists (<ul>
) and numbered
lists (<ol>
). At present, nested lists cannot be created using Editize's WYSIWYG tools.
Character-level formatting is provided with the following features:
<b>
tag in the output.<i>
tag in the output.<u>
tag
in the output.<span class="highlighted">
tag in the output document. You should assign whatever highlighting color
you choose to the highlighted
CSS class when you display the
output document.<code>
tag in the output.<a href>
tags) into
the document. Users are asked whether each link should open in the default
window/frame, or in a new window (target="_blank"
).In addition to the formatting features outlined above, Editize supports:
