18. OLFG Discussion Guide: Text Styling (Template 4)

The Itracks software support basic text styling: underline, bold, italics, font size & colour, as well as support for bulleted and numbered lists in the BBFG interface. These stylings use HTML tags (such as <> bold < /b > for bold) to display the appropriate styling.

One barrier to greater use of stylings in Itracks is that text stylings made in the original discussion guide (say a Word document) do not survive the transition to a TXT file.

Unless ...

Unless you use a macro that converts styled text in Word to their equivalent HTML tags.

I've adapted a macro that converts the acceptable Word stylings to HTML tags. You can find it along with the other macros for this guide here, in version 4 of the OLFG Discussion Guide, or here, as a BAS file.

Note that styling appears as HTML tags in the OLFG interface, but that it does display correctly in the text stream (see screengrab).



Thanks to Lucas Brachish for the original code.
