Text Formatting

 

Basic Paragraph

 

This is the basic, no frills paragraph. Let's make it a little longer and see how it wraps around. Note how the right border is looking right now. A linebreak follows:
next part of the same line.

Centered paragraph.

Paragraph on the right.

Justified: This is the basic paragraph. Let's make it a little longer and see how it wraps around. Note how the right border looks, especially now that it's justified.

Note that <pb> is useable as page-break on the REB1200 but is not a W3-sanctioned tag, and will be ignored by all other browsers. (Use stylesheets for compliance)

 

Preformatting

 


	This is a bit of preformatted text.
		   It should look exactly as in the
			Source Document.
	   Most likely it
		will use a fixed-width font by default
	

 

Quoted Text:

 

A quote: The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential.

 

Blockquotes (justified):

 

(Useful, but not officially intended, for easy indentation)

In October 1994, Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web, founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Laboratory for Computer Science [MIT/LCS] in collaboration with CERN, where the Web originated, with support from DARPA and the European Commission.

By promoting interoperability and encouraging an open forum for discussion, W3C commits to leading the technical evolution of the Web. In just over seven years, W3C has developed more than forty technical specifications for the Web's infrastructure. However, the Web is still young and there is still a lot of work to do, especially as computers, telecommunications, and multimedia technologies converge. To meet the growing expectations of users and the increasing power of machines, W3C is already laying the foundations for the next generation of the Web. W3C's technologies will help make the Web a robust, scalable, and adaptive infrastructure for a world of information.

 

Unordered List

Ordered List

  1. The first item.
  2. The second item.
  3. The third item.
  4. The fourth item.
  5. The fifth item.

Definition List

The first term.
First term's full definition text goes here, and continues in the same block until the end of this.
The second term.
Second term's full definition text goes here, and continues in the same block until the end of this.
The third term.
Third term's full definition text goes here, and continues in the same block until the end of this.

 

Note that, unlike the previous list-types, this one does NOT start in a new paragraph on the REB1200. Use a paragraph with &zwnj; (&nbsp; would add a space in front of the first term)

Empty Cell Test

 

Empty cells are automatically filled on the REB1200:

REB1200

No need to fill them with &nbsp; :

Note that 'summary', 'tbody' and 'nowrap' are not supported at this time. You cannot change the font-family using the font-family attribute, it's only possible via stylesheets. See the Stylesheet chapter for more.

For colored tables, see the next chapter.

 

Note that frames are not supported.

 

Rulers

 

Horizontal rulers, to be precise:

Basic (width in %):


Including 'size' (thickness) and alignment:


And that's it: 'noshade' isn't recognized since solid is the only option anyway, 'color' is simply ignored.
