Specifying colors

When specifying colors, you can use named Web colors such as "Silver" and

"MediumSlateBlue" by name. You can also use RGB colors by specifying their

hexadecimal values. For example:

<RICHTEXT COLOR="Teal" MERGE="false" BOLD="true">This text is

teal.</RICHTEXT>

Creating and using hyperlinks

There are three types of hyperlink:

•

Web (WWWURL).

•

Anchor (ANCHOR). You must define Anchor hyperlinks at the <LAYOUT> level.

•

Page (PAGE). You must define Anchor hyperlinks at the <LAYOUT> level.

Web hyperlinks

You must define Web hyperlinks at the <PROJECT> level. For example, to create a Web

hyperlink named Quark-dot-com, you could add the following as a child of the

<PROJECT> element:

<HYPERLINK HLTYPE="WWWURL" NAME="Quark-dot-com"

TARGET="http://www.quark.com"/>

To add a Web hyperlink to a layout, add HYERLINKREF and HLTYPE attributes to a

<BOX> or <RICHTEXT> element. For example, to use the Quark-dot-com hyperlink

defined above, you could do something like this:

<RICHTEXT>this is a hyperlink to </RICHTEXT>

<RICHTEXT COLOR="Cyan" UNDERLINE="true" HYPERLINKREF="Quark-dot-com"

HLTYPE="WWWURL">quark.com</RICHTEXT>

You can use a Web hyperlink without creating it at the <PROJECT> level, but this is

not the preferred method.
