ConnectDesigner. Formatting options like bold, italic and formats like Heading 1, Heading 2
are maintained.
Extra spaces
In HTML, extra spaces are generally removed. In Designer templates this is the same, because
they are HTML files. In some cases however, you want extra spaces to be shown in your
output. Read this how-to to learn how to maintain extra spaces in the text: Maintain extra
spaces in text.
Adding special characters
To add special characters:
1. Position the cursor where the character should be inserted.
2.
On the Insert menu, point to Special Characters click Symbols, Dashes and Spaces,
Arrows, or Geometric Shapes, and click one of the available special characters.
Adding page numbers
Page numbers can only be used in the Print context. See "Page numbers " on page93.
HTML element: p, h, li and others
When adding elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file; see "Editing HTML" on page129.
In HTML text can be contained in many different elements: paragraphs, span elements, line
items and table cells, for example.
The HTML tag of a paragraph is <p>. The paragraph should be followed by a closing tag: </p>.
A line break looks like this in HTML: <br>.
Formatting text
Text can be styled, colored, centered, indented etc. It can even be displayed so that it reads
from right to left. See "Styling text and paragraphs" on page209.
In all templates you can use the fonts that are provided with the Designer, as well as imported
fonts; see "Fonts" on page232.
