<h1>Formatting text</h1>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Usually you can just leave this setting to the default value and things
|
|
should work as you expect</b>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>1. Moodle auto-format</h2>
|
|
|
|
<div class="indent">
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you save your text, Moodle will do a number of things to automatically
|
|
format your text for you. </p>
|
|
<p>For example, URLs such as </p>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<p>Smiley characters such as :-) will automatically become their graphical equivalents.</p>
|
|
<p>You can even embed HTML code if you want to and it will be retained.</p>

|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>2. HTML format</h2>
|
|
|
|
<div class="indent">
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<p>Unlike the Moodle auto-format, no automatic formatting is performed.</p>

</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>3. Plain text format</h2>
|
|
|
|
<div class="indent">
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<p>It still translates spaces and new lines, but otherwise your
|
|
text isn't touched.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>4. Markdown text format</h2>
|
|
|
|
<div class="indent">
|
|
<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>
