It is often desirable to change the appearance of your text. You may do this by using the following formatting commands.
Formatting commands generally have a command followed by one or more arguments. Arguments are delineated by commas. In the event that there is a comma within the argument simply enclose the argument in single or double quotes.

[style,class]
[style] |
Web pages may use styles. A style may be used to define multiple formating characteristics. So if you want to change multiple characteristics such as font type, size, emphasis, etc that can be done with a style. Your webmaster would have to craete the style for you but you would be able to control where it is used. |
To use this command you need to specify where the style will start and
where it will end. The [stype,class] sequence starts a style and the
[style] sequence ends it. These sequences can be on separate lines. All
text between them will have the specified style.
|
[image,name]
[image-left,name]
[image-right,name] |
Display the image called "name" |
This sequence allows you to display an image
within your announcement. The image itself must be uploaded through the
Upload utilities. When you name the image file be sure to include
something that
identifies it as belonging to your program. For example; image filenames
for Traveling Volleyball should begin with "VBTR".
Images that are uploaded should either be ".gif" or ".jpg"
type images no more then 400 pixels wide. The larger the image, the longer
it takes to download. Please keep your images small.
To code the sequence you just need to include the name of the file that
you uploaded.
[image,EVAA.gif] causes the image filename called "EVAA.gif"
to be displayed. |
[link,url,link-text]
[link-window,url,link-text] |
Include a link and a link in a new window. |
This sequence allows you to include a link to
another web site or to some other location within the web site.
Note: There can only be one link sequence per line.
For links to other sites you would code the sequence like:
For web site development go to [link,http://www.jmtservices.com,JMT
Services].
This would appear in a announcement like:
For web site development go to JMT
Services.
For links within the web site you would code the sequence like:
EVAA now offers [link,/Registration/Register.php,Online Registration]
to save you time.
This would appear in a announcement like:
EVAA now offers Online Registration to save you time.
Using the link-window command causes a new page to be opened.
