In PD Place™ there are a number of preferences which allow you to control the text that is displayed on various screens and in messages displayed to your users. The main log-in screen is a perfect example of where these types of preferences are used. The preference text displayed on this screen is used to welcome your users, make announcements and provide log-in and account creation instructions.

One of the special features associated with these preferences is the content displayed within the webpage can contain HTML tags to improve the readability of the information or to highlight important points. The great thing is that you can do a fair amount without a lot of technical knowledge. Some of the tags you may want to use are as follows (HTML tags in left-hand column are identified in bold):

• In addition you can also use the following tag (shown in bold) to provide a link to another page or to provide a download for a special document: <a href=“http://www.coresolutions.ca/”>Visit CoreSolutions Software</a> This anchor tag will display the following link: Visit CoreSolutions Software – clicking this will take you to the URL you specified.

• The tag here (shown in bold) provides the capability to display a special image on the screen: <img src=”Coresolutions.gif” width=”41″ height=”41″ border=”0″ />  This image tag will display the .gif indicated with the specified width and height.

The above are just a few examples of what you can do. There are many more and each HTML tag typically provides other attributes to help you get the effects you want.

Here are a couple more links to helpful HTML tag charts: HTML Tags Chart and HTML Quick Reference Guide
