Design Features (meta data)
When creating or editing entries you may use the following design features (so-called autoformat functions) in the abstract or text:
| new line: | RETURN key (the line is wrapped automatically in the entry field. RETURN is required for an actual line feed) |
| reference to a WebGenesis entry: |
e.g.: xlise:11 or ylise:11 or ylise:11[Hello World] The number of the entry you want to refer to can be seen as the last part of the URL in the status bar of your browser, when pointing your mouse at a hyperlink. (cf. Entry Number). In the display the reference is replaced by the title of the referenced entry. If the entry does not exist (e.g. has been deleted) or is not accessible, an error message appears (moving the referenced entry does not affect the reference). When entering "ylise" the category icon is shown in addition to the title. To use an alternative title simply add it in square brackets [...] directly behind the ID). |
| Reference to a picture in an alternative representation |
e.g. ximg:../24/bild.gif[This is a picture of me] The "../<entry number>/" refers to the entry the picture is stored in. To find a picture in every context the entry number needs to be mentioned in all referals. You can add an alt-text description to picture in square brackets [...] directly behind the pictures name). |
| Reference to a WebGenesis user: |
e.g. alise:cha[My address info] In the display the reference is replaced by the name of the user (you can find the user id of the user you want to reference - here "cha" - in the Group/User overview). If the user id does not exist or is not accessible, an error message appears. When selecting the name his/her address information is shown. To use an alternative link text simply add it in square brackets [...] directly behind the user name). |
| HTTP or HTTPS reference: e.g. test |
e.g. http://genesis.iitb.fhg.de[test] https://genesis.iitb.fhg.de[test] "test" (in square brackets [...] directly behind the URL) is the visible part of the reference. It may be omitted. Then the URL itself is shown as a hyperlink (i.e. "http://genesis.iitb.fhg.de"). Note: This autoformat function has priority over the usual HTML code (e.g. <a href=http://genesis.iitb.fhg.de>test</a>) If you want to use the HTML code, omit the "http:" part. The autoformat function of WebGenesis is not activated, but the browser fills in "http:" as default (e.g. <a href=//genesis.iitb.fhg.de>test</a>) |
| FTP reference: e.g. ftp://ftp.fhg.de[test] |
e.g. ftp://ftp.fhg.de/pub "test" (in square brackets [...] directly behind the URL) is the visible part of the reference. It may be omitted. Then the URL itself is shown as a hyperlink. |
| File reference: e.g. C:\temp\... |
e.g. file://C|/temp This makes only sense if the server is used in an intranet. "test" (in square brackets [...] directly behind the URL) is the visible part of the reference. It may be omitted. Then the URL itself is shown as a hyperlink. |
| Mail reference: e.g. cha@iitb.fhg.de |
e.g. mailto:cha@iitb.fhg.de "test" (in square brackets [...] directly behind the URL) is the visible part of the reference. It may be omitted. Then the mail address itself is shown as a hyperlink. |
| News reference: e.g. Newsgroup iitb |
e.g. news://news.fhg.de/iitb[Newsgroup iitb] |
In the text you may also use:
| HTML fragments and tags e.g. for italic bold |
e.g. <ol> <ul> <li> <table> <tr> <td> ... and </ol> </ul> </table> </tr> </td> ... (do not forget to set the closing tags) e.g. <i>itallic</i> e.g. <b>bold</b> |
| Javascript e.g. javascript:parent.popupNavigator() |
e.g. javascript:parent.popupNavigator() |
Note:
If you need additional design features, you can replace the standard layout with
an alternate layout and thus have access to all features of
HTML.
