Reply To: The CR Laboratory: Try Your HTML Formatting Experiments Here

asdfghjkl-

There is nothing “complicated” here – just knowing what tags to put before and after your text to have it format a particular way.

intellegent-

For whatever reason, the site software doesn’t display the rest of the page properly after a list is entered (see the lower part of the first page of this thread), so that may be just as well.

That said, here’s what the site Joseph’s URL pointed to said:

Ordered list-

<OL>

<LI>Take 495 north

<LI>Cross the 14th Street Bridge

<LI>Take the Maine Avenue exit

<LI>Turn left at the first light

</OL>

Unordered list, with sublists-

<UL>

<LI>Marketing

<UL>

<LI>Andy Hodges

<LI>Trey Gregory

</UL>

<LI>Engineering

<UL>

<LI>Karen Joslin

<LI>Sheila Malone

<LI>Karl Heinz

</UL>

</UL>

The UL tag is for Unordered List and must be closed.

The OL tag is for Ordered List and must be closed.

The LI tag is for List Items and (aparently) doesn’t need to be closed.

Curious-

I think the answer to your question is self-evident at this point. Enjoy your new position as site illustrator.

You seem to be trying the same kind of thing that “mw13” and I did, with the same lack of success. The site software seems to be pretty good at picking off “unauthorized” attribute tags. If anybody can figure out how to get around the font, color, etc. restrictions I’d be interested.
