Working with Text, Part Two

It's time to exert more control over the text on your pages. TeacherBridge uses shorthand notation for many common HTML tags that allow you to quickly and easily modify the way text looks on your pages.
  • Exclamation marks at the beginning of a line are used to create headings, such as the title of this page. Up to three exclamation marks can be used.

One exclamation mark

Two exclamation marks

Three exclamation marks

  • Use a - at the beginning of a line to start a bulleted list. Use a # at the beginning of a line to start a numbered list. For each subsequent list item, use another - or #.
    • You can have sub-bullets and sub-numbers, too. Use multiple - or multiple # to achieve the desired effect.
      1. And you can nest these lists, too.
      2. If you want a numbered list inside of a bulleted list, put either a - first, then the #.
  1. And a bulleted list inside of a numbered list works in the opposite fashion:
    • Start with # then use a -.
      1. Piece of cake, right?

  • Make quick tables using the | character. Start each table cell with a |. Each new line is a new row.
Cel1 1 Cell 2 Cell 3
Cell 4 Cell 5 Cell 6
Cell 7 Cell 8 Cell 9

To create a horizontal line that spans the width of your page, start a line with a _.
If you need a #, !, -, |, or a _ at the beginning of a line, surround the character with single-quotes.

Phew. Keep in mind that the above notation works in both the Full Editor and the Web Editor. One more step to go before we turn you loose on the world: Links
