Today I got many questions about how to make text appear bold or italic, create bulleted or numbered lists or how to align images in a controlled fashion using tables.

Doing this is not difficult once you know how. There are a lot of HTML tags, but you need only a few to format your text. For a comprehensive overview I just located this one on the web which explains this in detail (I've not reviewed it in detail, but it looks good to me).

Lesson 21 is about tables, lesson 6 is about lists and lesson 5 is about text styles like bold and italic.

Remember... you don't actually need this! Focus on writing content first and do all the finetuning later.

Woef!

Thank you ,exactly what I needed from you. I was planning on asking you how to make those lists.

Is there a way to add links in a regular text block (so <b>not</b> by using Build text Block) just by code, that makes sure when someone clicks on that link, the link's destination opens in a new browser?

So kinda like in: <a href="http://www.url/url.html">Blabla</a> Only difference is to open the link in a new browser.

Because I am adding a new second tier page on my website, called links, in which i will put some links I got through SBI link exchange, but I don't want to use a new text link block for every link that I am adding. So I want to use code in normal text blocks, but still force the link to open in a new window.

thanks,

Benthino,

Add this code target="_blank" as follows....

So kinda like in: <a href="http://www.url/url.html" target="_blank">Blabla</a> Only difference is to open the link in a new browser.

And then you have it.

Expensive solution Attila to solve things like this. Although you can get it everywhere for free nowadays so it seems.

General answer when you see something on a site you like.. at least that's how I do this sometimes is to view the page source: When I see in the code it's just HTML, I do.... highlight+copy+paste and customize it to fit my site.
When it's all Javascript and other code, then I don't bother. This way I learn HTML as I go along.

I do use Dreamweaver for my Dutch site though. Though probably I'm using only 5% of what this software can do.
