Bulldozer: Markup Palette Help!


The markup palette may be accessed throught the Menu Bar Display Menu and along with the Tool Bar , contains all of the mark types that may be entered into a document. Not all of these marks are supported by all browsers. You may want to consult your browser documentation or try some tests with your browser as their implementations are constantly changing. The marks are divided into four categories:
1. Special Phrase Font Styles
These are logical styles and follow the same symantics for entering into a documant as the Font Styles found in the Tool Bar. In the HTML world these are actually prefered over the Literal Font Styles. For more information see the HTML 3.0 documentation .
2. Literal Font Styles
These are Literal styles. That is, their name suggests how they should be formatted. Like the Special Phrase Font Styles the Literal Font Styles follow the same Font Styles symantics as the font styles found in the Tool Bar. For more information see the HTML 3.0 documentation .
3. Block Elements
Block elements are those elements that not only optionally change the font style but may (and generally do) change the flow of text. In the case of block elements that change included adding vertical space above and below the block of text that they encapsulate. The symantics for editing Block Elements follow that of the header button found in the Tool Bar. HTML 3.0 documentation may be found for Block Quote , Address and Headings .
4. Form Widgets
Form widgets are elements which belong in a form. A form allows the browser that is reading the page to send feedback information to the server. This may be used for registering your name with a company or group, ordering stuff, searching or what ever else you can thing of. The backbone of forms is something called the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). Bulldozer does not provide tools for creating CGI programs. Some servers implement CGI slightly different than others and the same server on different machines may be configured differently which will affect how GCI should be implemented. Please see your HTTP server documentation for more information on GCI. For more information on forms and the Form Widget marks see the HTML 3.0 documentation .
