<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Formatting text</B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>When writing text in Moodle there are several formats you can choose
|
|
to produce your text, depending on your expertise and the type of browser
|
|
you are using.
|
|
|
|
<P><B>Usually you can just leave this setting to the default value and things
|
|
should work as you expect</B>.
|
|
|
|
<P><B>1. Moodle auto-format</B></P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P>This format is best for when you are using normal web forms for entry
|
|
(instead of the Richtext HTML editor). Just type text normally, as if you
|
|
were sending an email.
|
|
|
|
<P>When you save your text, Moodle will do a number of things to automatically
|
|
format your text for you.
|
|
<P>For example, URLs such as
|
|
<A HREF="http://yahoo.com/">http://yahoo.com</A> or even
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com/">www.yahoo.com</A> will be turned into links.
|
|
<P>Your line breaks will be retained, and blank lines will start new paragraphs.
|
|
<P>Smiley characters such as :-) will automatically become their graphical equivalents.
|
|
<P>You can even embed HTML code if you want to and it will be retained.

|
|
|
|
|
|
<P><B>2. HTML format</B></P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P>This format assumes the text is pure HTML. If you are using the
|
|
HTML editor to edit text then this is the default format - all
|
|
the commands in the toolbar are producing HTML for you.
|
|
|
|
<P>Even if you are not using the Richtext HTML editor, you can use HTML code
|
|
in your text and it should come out exactly as you intended.
|
|
|
|
<P>Unlike the Moodle auto-format, no automatic formatting is performed.

|
<P><B>3. Plain text format</B></P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P>This format is useful when you need to include lots of code
|
|
or HTML that you want to be displayed exactly as you wrote it.
|
|
|
|
<P>It still translates spaces and new lines, but otherwise your
|
|
text isn't touched.

<P><B>4. Markdown text format</B></P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P>Markdown format tries to make it easy as possible to type
|
|
well-formatted XHTML pages using nothing but text written
|
|
more or less like you would write an email.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It's very good for writing clean text pages with some headings
|
|
and some lists but without many links or images.</p>

|
<P><B>5. Wiki-like text format</B></P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P>This format uses special codes for typing text known as the
|
|
Wiki way. If you already know the Wiki way of creating pages
|
|
and want to use it everywhere in Moodle, then this format is
|
|
for you.</p>
|
|
|
|
<P>Note that this isn't a <b>real</b> Wiki, so you can't use CamelCase
|
|
for creating new pages. It may also be slightly different from the
|
|
Wiki module in Moodle, so be aware.</p>
