9.2 Editor

The Editor included in Bridgewebs allows you to format your News Items much like a Word Processor. However the Editor creates HTML code and there are slight differences.

For example, there is a slight quirk with HTML which is the opposite to Word Processing. If you press RETURN you will get a new Paragraph which always show with what looks like a blank line. If you press CTRL RETURN you get a "Line Break" which moves to the next line without a blank line. To Correct put your cursor against the line, BACKSPACE and then CTRL RETURN

The table below shows some of the useful but less obvious Options that can be useful in a Bridgewebs page.

Picture/Image		Free format insert of images/pictures in your text Enter a URL such as /clubcode/picture.gif
Picture/Image	†	Quick insert of pictures from your Bridgewebs Picture Library This will open a Popup Dialogue that you can choose to insert any image from your Picture Library Select the image and choose the display size. You can make further adjustments with "Right Click" and "Image Properties"

Diamond	†	Quick insert of diamond symbol
Club	†	Quick insert of club symbol
