Formatting Tags
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
OpenLP has the ability to add additional formatting to text in songs and custom
|
|
slides through the use of :ref:`g-formatting-tags`. :ref:`g-formatting-tags`
|
|
provide a shortcut to use HTML and CSS to format text.
|
|
|
|
:ref:`g-formatting-tags` consist of two parts, a starting and an ending tag,
|
|
each tag consisting of a brace, tag identifier, brace.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** HTML or CSS cannnot be directly entered into OpenLP. They must be
|
|
defined through the use of :ref:`g-formatting-tags`
|
|
|
|
Using a Formatting Tag
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
:ref:`g-formatting-tags` can be inserted by typing the tag into the text that
|
|
is being edited or by using the mouse to select and insert the tags.
|
|
:ref:`g-formatting-tags` can not span across page breaks. If a tag begins with
|
|
text on one side of a page break it cannot stretch across the break. Instead,
|
|
two sets of tags will need to be used, one set on each side of the break.
|
|
|
|
Adding Formatting Tags Using Text
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To use :ref:`g-formatting-tags` surround the text with a starting tag {} followed
|
|
by the text to be formatted. End the text to be formatted with an ending tag
|
|
{/}.
|
|
|
|
Example of Use
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
To make a section of text bold you would do the following in a custom slide or
|
|
song::
|
|
|
|
Amazing grace how {st}sweet{/st} the sound.
|
|
|
|
This will yield the text as:
|
|
|
|
Amazing grace how **sweet** the sound.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
format. Right click on the text and select :menuselection:`Formatting Tags`
|
|
followed by selecting the desired formatting.
|
