ePortfolio Text Entry
- All newlines are preserved by default; beginning your text entry with the word HTML disables this in favor of html-style linewrap.
- Beginning your text entry with the word SPACING will preserve word spacing (e.g., indentation, spacing between words).
- All lines with http:// or https//: will automatically create a link.
The link text displayed can (optionally) follow in quotes.
e.g., http://www.audsplace.com "Aud's Website" produces Aud's Website
Note: If you follow the link text in single quotes, a new window will be used for the linked page
- All email addresses embedded within text will automatically generate an email link.
The link text displayed can (optionally) follow in quotes.
e.g., aud1@audsplace.com "Aud's email" produces Aud's email
- The Syndicate Directive can be used to quickly insert an RSS feed into a page:
<syndicate URL showPostDate=Y|N descriptionCharsShown=0 numberLinksDisplayed=8>
Where:- URL - This is the URL for the Feed. If this is for an ePortfolio page, the URL's must be for pages of type Weblog, Discussion, Calendar or Collection. Otherwise, the RSS or Atom feed URL should be acquired from the website generating the feed and entered here. For ePortfolio, the feed URL's can be found by following the Subscribe
link (on the upper right corner of the page).
- showPostDate=Y/N - whether or not the posting date should be displayed. If omitted, the date is not shown.
- descriptionCharsShown=# - How many characters of the description should be displayed. If set to 0, none of the description is shown (this is the default if no specification is given).
- numberLinksDisplayed=# - The number of links displayed (if omitted, 12 links are shown)
- Formatting tags will be preserved
