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
