Formating Text

With openforms you can influence the outward appearance of your continuous text.

If you want to change the appearance of one word, write the formating command in front of the word you want to change. Separate the command and the word by a colon.
If you want to change the appearance of a larger section of the text, put the section in square brackets.
The following table displays possible formats

[f:This section is written in bold]

No line brake

nobr:

[nobr:This text will always displayed in one line and not break at spaces]

Structuring Texts

You can structure and organize continuous texts.

When structuring a continuous text it is important to leave an empty row both before and after the structured textblock.
The order initiating structuring is always entered followed by a space.
The following table shows some possible structures.

Format	Command	Example (input)	Example (output)
Bullets	*	This is a continuous text * one * two and another continuous text.	This is a continuous text one two and another continuous text.
Lists	#	This is a continuous text # one # two and another continuous text.	This is a continuous text one two and another continuous text.
Forced Empty Row	br:	This is a continuous text<return> br: br: and another continuous text.	This is a continuous text and another continuous text.
Subheadings	!	This is a continuous text, followed by a ! subheading and another continuous text.	This is a continuous text, followed by a subheading and another continuous text.
Citations	z:	This is a continuous text [z:and this is a citation]	This is a continuous text and this is a citation
Source Texts	code:	This is a continuous text [code:and this is a source excerpt]	This is a continuous text `and this is a source excerpt`
Next paragraph after an image.	clear:	This is a continuous text clear: and another continuous text	This is a continuous text and another continuous text.
Horizontal Line	hr:	This is a continuous text hr: and another continuous text	This is a continuous text and another continuous text

Please note that you can also structure a text by creating a new standard paragraph for each section.

Semantic Labeling

By using semantic labeling you can capture more information than is visible in the text. This applies especially to footnotes, comments and citations.

When entering it, put two # sympols behind the characteristic word, the explain it.
The entire term is set into square brackets.
The following table displays possible semantic labels.
In order to test the function, please move your cursor above the labelled word.

Format	Command	Example (input)	Example (output)
Abbreviation	abbr:	Please move your cursor above the following [abbr:abbreviation##Explenation of abbreviation].	Please move your cursor above the following abbreviation.
Definition	dfn:	Please move your cursor above the following[abbr:definition##Explenation of definition].	Please move your cursor above the following definition.
Acronym	acronym:	Please move your cursor above the following [abbr:Akronym##Explenation of acronyms].	Please move your cursor above the following acronym.

With x-html_tag you may generate arbitrary inline HTML-Tags. e.g to support project specific HTML5 Tags.

Tables and Overviews

You can display a set of facts or figures systematically in tables. The data to be displayed is set in columns and rows

Tables start with the tab: command, followed by a line break.
All following lines each represent a row with columns. Columns are separated using a separator mark, with a space before and after the separator mark.
To clearly separate a table-block from the rest of the text of you place a blank line before and after the table-block.
In case the table should contain a heading at the top, enter tab:spaltig. Should the left table culumn be a heading, enter tab:zeilig. (Unfortunately the commands splatig and zeilig are not localized.)

Please note it is more clear to add a new text paragraph element for each block (in this case the table-block).

Links and References inside text

Inside the text you can place links to external web sites or a document or image inside the system.

A reference is set by entering a reference command and a path to the location of the referenced target.
The description for a references follows after the path, separated by two # symbols
The whole phrase is set in square brackets.
Possible link- and reference-commands are shown in the table below

Please note that links and references placed by this technique are not updated if the target document or asset is being moved. Therefore it is recommended to use paragraphs like the reference-paragraph instead.

⁽¹⁾ The use of absolute internal paths is problematic. If the target document has been moved, this link will no longer be valid. As of openforms version 5.50, it ist possible to use reference context key defined in the 'Known Links' attribute of the current paragraph or version.

⁽²⁾ It is also possible to preset a mail body: [mailto:address##label##subject##body].
