The following HTML formatting tags are expected to be sufficient for most HTML submissions to HiLight:
| markup | rendering |
|---|---|
| <I>italic</I> | italic |
| <B>bold</B> | bold |
| X<SUB>subscript</SUB> | Xsubscript |
| X<SUP>superscript</SUP> | Xsuperscript |
| <H4>Header level 4</H4> | Header level 4(levels 1-6 are possible using tags H1...H6) |
| <FONT FACE=SYMBOL>ABGD...W abgd...w</FONT> | ABGD...W abgd...w |
Obviously, these tags are much like brackets, with the closing tag repeating the corresponding opening tag after the slash. Any combinations of the tags are possible. Special characters are inserted as follows:
| coding | character |
|---|---|
| < | < |
| > | > |
| | [non-breakable space] |
| – | – [n-dash] |
| — | — [m-dash] |
| “ | “ |
| ” | ” |
| ° | ° |
| · | · |
Other special characters (including the additional letters of some languages, like é or ç in French) may be constructed in the same way, possibly, with the use of the <FONT FACE=SYMBOL> tag. For example, the sequence
<FONT FACE=SYMBOL>l</FONT><SUB>ik</SUB> <FONT FACE=SYMBOL>Î</FONT> <FONT FACE=SYMBOL>L</FONT>
results in the following text:
lik Î L
An unordered list is inserted as follows:
<UL>
<LI> First item in the list
<LI> Next item in the list
</UL>
which is rendered as
An ordered list is inserted as follows:
<OL>
<LI> First item in the list
<LI> Next item in the list
</OL>
which is rendered as
Ordered and unordered lists may be embedded and mixed with each other.
Additionally, there are a few control tags:
| operator | meaning |
|---|---|
| <P> | new paragraph |
| </P> | end of the last paragraph in a section |
| <BR> | line break without beginning a new paragraph |
| <HR> | horizontal rule |
| <P ALIGN=CENTER> | new paragraph will be centered |
| <P ALIGN=RIGHT> | new paragraph will right-justified |
| <CENTER> | center all the following paragraphs |
| </CENTER> | end centering |
| <PRE> | unformatted text (no HTML tags interpreted) |
| </PRE> | resume HTML formatting |
All the HTML tags are case-insensitive.
To insert an image, use a sequence like <IMG SRC=filename.ext>, assuming that the image file comes together with the referencing file and is placed in the same directory (folder). Please, do not use long filenames - stick to the old MS DOS standard of up to 8 characters for filename and up to 3 characters for file extension.
There may be links between different portions of one file or different files. To insert a link to a different file, use a sequence like
<A HREF=filename.ext>any text (or image) indicating the link</A>
Note: All the links should be to the files of the same submission only, no other URL's should be used.
To mark a portion of the text, insert a label like <A NAME=label> and then refer to it from the same file as
<A HREF=#label>any text (or image) indicating the link</A>
or from another file as
<A HREF=filename.ext#label>any text (or image) indicating the link</A>
