HTML help file
This page is designed to help you use basic HTML (hyper text markup language) to enhance the look of your data. HTML is a tag-based language and is a standard for adding display elements to web content. The word "tag" or "tags" means that there is an opening tag and a closing tag that wraps the entry. The tags begin with a less than sign "<" and end with a greater than sign ">". See the options and descriptions below for basic HTML elements.
 

Special HTML Helper Values
Line Break(s)
This code helps the page add a single or double line break. The "br" stands for break or line break.
 
Hyper Link
This code helps to add a hyper link to the text. It needs to start and end with the "a" tags. The href part tells it where to go. The part inbetween the opening and closing "a" tag is the physical text that is shown to the user.
Sample Link: text goes here
 
Bold
This code helps to make one or more words show up in BOLD. Whatever value is between the "strong" tags will be bolded.
 
Italics
This code helps to make one or more words show up in Italics. Whatever value is between the "em" tags will be italicized.
 
Bullets
This code helps to make a bullted list. The code starts with an opening "ul" which means an un-ordered list. The closing "ul" tag is at the very end. The "li" tags (both opening and closing) create the item that will be in the list. Notice that each of the three items has an opening and closing tag. Here is what the bulleted list would look like.
  • item 1
  • item 2
  • item 3
Numbers
This code helps to make a numbered list. The code starts with an opening "ol" which means an ordered list (numbered). The closing "ol" tag is at the very end. The "li" tags (both opening and closing) create the item that will be in the list. Notice that each of the three items has an opening and closing tag. Here is what the numbered list would look like.
  1. item 1
  2. item 2
  3. item 3
 
Lines
This code helps to make a horizontal line. The width value may be changed to a different percentage as needed. The max is 100%. Here is what the code above would create:
 
Images



This code is how you point to an image or picture. Often a picture will have a hyper link wrapped around it to be used as a navigational object. As a note, if you are using a built-in editor to add the image or photo, it may treat the source as a link, if that is the case, you may have to select the source or link part of the tag and turn the link option off. Try to get it into the format listed above. You may have to manually alter things or hand build it to get it to work. Here are a couple different samples:
plain image... Main Adilas.biz logo.    -    or image with a link... Click to go to the main Adilas.biz homepage!
 
YouTube Videos

This code is how you point to a YouTube video. This is only allowed in certain parts of the system due to the iframe tag. Make sure and trade out the source code for your own video. As a note, if you are using a built-in editor to add a YouTube video, it may treat the source as a link, if that is the case, you may have to select the source or link part of the tag and turn the link option off. Try to get it into the format listed above. You may have to manually alter things or hand build it to get it to work.

Also, if you are interested, Adilas.biz does have a built-in YouTube player that can tie directly to your media/content entries (files & content or virtual library of media/content pieces) inside of Adilas.
