LiveUpdater Special formatting  

Please keep the extra HTML code you add to a minimum.

The basis of HTML code is that the code is called "tags" and comes inside <these> and always is finished with a </> so it would be:
<CODE>word</CODE>
You can use UPPER or lower cAsE.

BOLD

Add a <B> before the word(s) you wish to make bold and </B> after the word. Here's a <B>Big Bold</B> bit in the story. CAREFUL - Without the </B> the rest of the story on will be bold.

Italic
Same as bold but with <i> and must be closed </I>
Use sparingly for accents or Foreign names. Italic can often look "jagged" especially <i><b>Bold italics</b></i>

Strikethrough
Strikethrough code is <s> and </s>. Usually used for Price decreases, special and sale pricing.

NOTE:
Do not use Underlined text as it causes confusion as users think it is a link and are frustrated it goes nowhere.

Font style, size and colour changes are complex and not recommended.
Your LiveUpdater area has been designed with correct fonts and colours for the overall site and it is not recommended to change these.


<P>
For a paragraph space between text use can use this code <P> so it will give a gap between words like this

the above gap is a <P> spacing.
Simply hit enter to go one line down or you can use this "BREAK" tag <BR>

<LINK>
A link can require quite a lot of code but you can copy and paste the code below into the document and change the link URL (web address) and linked words.

<A HREF="http://the-site-to-link-to.com/pagename.html">linked words</A>

WARNING:

Because most LiveUpdater sites are built in Frames the linked page will open in the same window as the text unless you add target="_parent", or to open in a new browser window, add target="_blank"

So the link would become:

<a href="http://linkedsite.com/linkedpage.html" target="_parent">link text</a>

<a href="http://linkedsite.com/linkedpage.html" target="_blank">link text here</a>
