With PageOut® you may manually type or paste HTML markup tags into any of the PageOut® text entry areas to improve formatting. Below is a simple reference to some basic tags.
To format text to show up in finished pages with specific attributes, you must in many (but not all) cases use a beginning tag (where you want the attribute to begin), and an ending tag (Where you want the attribute to end).
Different tags may be used in conjunction with one another for combined results.
Use this tag to separate paragraphs in your document.
Tag: <p>
Use this tag to begin a new line.
Tag: <br>
Use this set of tags to display text in bold.
Beginning Tag: <b>
Ending Tag: </b>

Beginning Tag: <u>

Use this set of tags along with a URL(Website address) and some descriptive text to create a hypertext link in your document.
In the following example, http://www.mhhe.com is the URL(Website Address) and ABC is the descriptive text.
