Conversion instructions
This tool will allow you paste text from Word or a text editor into the left panel, and convert it to be used in a HistoryBrowser XML data file by clicking on the "Convert" button. Once converted, it can be cut and pasted from the right panel into your XML file.
Flash text can accept a limited number of HTML tags, such as these:
- Anchor: <a href="/support/flash/ts/documents/url">
- Bold: <b>
- Font: < font [color="#xxxxxx"] [face="Type Face"] [size="Type Size"]>
- Italic: <I>
- Paragraph: <p [align="left" | "right" |"center" ]>
- Underline: <u>Break: <br>
- Image: <img src="/images/flash/dogs.jpg>
- List Item: <li>
- Tab <tab>
There are buttons below that will add these tags for you. Highlight the text you want to bold, intalicize, underline, color, link, or add an image to, or change font, and click on the icon. The tags will be added.
The Test button will show you how the text will appear. Clicking on it again returns you to editing mode.
- The Bold, Italics, and Underline buttons add the appropriate tags to highlighted text.
- The Link button will cause a hyperlink (anchor) to be added. The highlighted text will be made blue and underlined. When the user hovers over it, the cursor will change to a pointer from an arrow. The link is opened in a new window, but you can remove the TARGET tag if you want to leave the Flash app completely and go to a new window. The text field to the left is used to specify the link's url.
- The Img button will add an image tag (must be jpeg, gif, or png) to the highlighted text. The text field to the left is used to specify the image's url.
- The Color button will add tags to change the text color. The color defaults to black (#000000), so edit it to the desired color.
- The Sans button will add tags to change the text face and size. The face defaults to _sans and 15 pixels high, so edit it to the desired face (_sans, _serif, or _ typewriter) and size.
