Formatting in this environment is a bit regemented but quite simple.
If you want a blank line in the HTML leave a blank line in the text.
If you want a hard return in the HTML start the following line with a space.
Beyond this there are two forms and a hand full of codes to remember.
When you want the text changed you preceed it with a code in {curly brackets} the codes are currently {I} Italics ,{B} Bold ,{U} Underlined and a variety of font changes listed below and here in tabular form.
The second condition is when you want a hyperlink embedded in the text. In this situation you would preceed the filename or URL with a code in {} The next line would become the linked text. Codes in this set include {R} Right Frame ,{L} Left Frame ,{T} Top (or master) Frame ,{N} New Window ,{#} a target in the current document or a target in another document in the set
and {F} A Foot Note
and {*?} The code for an inline image which is described in The Image Page
http://nickerson.icomos.org/
This creates a link from a single line (the following use the first line URL to link the second line)
{L}dbf.htm
This link should put dbf.htm into the left frame
{R}over.htm
This link should put over.htm into the right frame
{N}images/overview.gif
This link should put images/overview.gif into its own window
This link should put the
CARTHTML directory
of nickerson.icomos.org into the top frame of the current session
It is also possible to use the native HTML header types but their output is
a bit hard to predict because of the blank space forced both before and after
their insertion as you can see below.
