HTML formatting

While you can build your entire website with Navigator's standard features, some detailed formatting may require a little HTML. HTML formatting is done with tags. Tags usually come in pairs, and enclose or bracket the text to which they apply. The first tag is the opening tag. NOTE that the second, or closing, tag has a slash (/) . You may copy and paste the examples below, then replace the parts of them you need to.

1. Bold: <strong>Your bold text</strong>
2. Italic: <em>Your italic text</em>
3. Email link: <a href="mailto:youremailaddress">Link text</a>
4. Web link: <a href="http://www.website.com">Link text</a>
5. If the web link is to a website other than yours: add an expression that will make the new website open in a different browser window, so it doesn't replace your website. If a visitor closes the new website, they still see your website.
   <a href="http://www.website.com" target="_blank">Link text</a>
6. To link to another page in your website: Publish the page, visit it in your browser, and copy the address information from your browser's address bar (it will start with http:// and contain some expressions like ?page_id=256). In the SiteNow Editor, make an htmllink page item, or a link within a paragraph, and paste the address in the appropriate place.
   <a href="paste the entire page address here">Link text</a>

Enter html as above in text areas or one-line text fields. Be sure to check the support pages for information about formatting page content.

We suggest that you use the HTML Block Type to enter HTML only if you know enough HTML code to feel comfortable with writing it. Incorrect HTML in the HTML Block can "break" your page, sometimes requiring your web designer or Autograff to edit the database to recover your page. If you simply can't do what you want to do, ask your web designer or Autograff to create html for you to enter in an HTML area.
