Making your website look pretty

Easily mark up your website with Rich Text

There are number of code shortcuts you can use when you put content into your webpages or when creating course descriptions to differentiate and separate large blocks of text. You can enter rich text in any field in onCourse where you see this symbol: which includes fields in courses, classes, tutors, sites, rooms, web pages and tags – basically, anywhere where more than a line of text from your onCourse database is visible to a student looking at your web page.

If you type the code into onCourse you will get the result listed below on your website. How the font actually ‘looks’ when it is on your website will depend on the design behind your site, but it should produce similar results to below:
