OutdoorVolunteer Web Calendar Page- Tips for HTML formatting
The Edit display for events requires several test entries for labels (Event Name, etc.) and for the Event
Summary and Event Description. Text entered in these fields will appear in a standard font in one line, in
the case of labels (very long labels may result in a line wrap when viewed on-line, and in one paragraph
in the Summary and Description. In the Summary and Description boxes carriage returns will create a
new line, but these will not appear on the resulting calendar entry—unless you introduce HTML
formatting.
This document shows some simple ways you can add HTML formatting to your entrees to enhance their
appearance. This is not a requirement, but just an aid for those who wish to venture there. By opening this
document on your computer and resizing your screens so your Edit display and the document may both be
viewed, you may cut and past the code snippets you want.
The general form for HTML coded text is usually <start this particular code>text text</end this particular
code>. A few are just <do this> and that is all, you don’t need an end code bracket.
As with all computer code, you have to do it correctly or you may get weird results or even nothing.
Fortunately, you can test your coding by clicking the preview link at the top of the Edit display.
Here is some code to change font size, color, and more:
<div class="defaultsmall">for smaller than the default size type</div>
<div class="defaultbold">for bold type</div>
Another way to do bold is. ..
<b>for bold type in any font size</b>
<div class="defaultred">for red type</div>
Another way to do color is
<font color=red> for red type</font>
<div class="defaultred"><b>for red type <b>mixed with bold</b></div>
<div class="defaultmedium">for
larger than the default size type</div>
<i>italic type</i>
<u>underlined type</u>
The <b>, <i>, and <u> brackets can be mixed in any way you like, alone or with the “div class default”
commands. CAUTION: don’t do much of this or your presentation we become visually busy and even
hard to read.
There are several ways to achieve line breaks and paragraphs, but the easiest is to use the line break
command.
Here is the first line.<br />
Here is the next line using one br command<br /><br />

Here is the next line using two adjacent br commands.
Live links Links may be placed in the Description section to documents (to a map, for example) you wish
to make available in this way to prospective or actual registrants. When you see links on web pages they
map be in the form of a word or expression, a graphic or button, or they may look like this:
http://www.agency.org/folder/folder/folder/document_name.doc. You may on use a word or short
expression. A hyperlink has the following form:
<a href=” http://www.agency.org/folder/folder/folder/document_name.doc” target=”_blank”>visible link
words</a>
The only thing that will show in the above example is visible link words in blue type and underlined. The
expression target=”_blank” will open a new window.
There are many more ways to code text, but these should be all that you need.
