Editing information
Body Editing
If there are multiple sections in the body, all sections of the body should be identified with a heading. The heading tag is available in the toolbar.
Heading 1 and Heading 2 are much too large for body content and are reserved for page headings. Heading 3 should be used for main headings and Heading 4 for sub headings. Do not use bold for headings. Screen readers use the heading tagging to allow visually impaired individuals to skim information until they find the heading of the content they are looking for. Bold would force the screen reader to have to read through all content.
You can customize body content within the normal body using the tools provided
B - Bold
I -Italic
S - Strikethrough
X2 -Superscript
X2 -Subscript
The Omega icon provides a selection of special characters that can be inserted.
When copying and pasting from other documents like word, sometimes the coded formatting from the source gets transferred over. Generally you will receive a message asking if you want the system to remove the source formatting, which you do. Sometimes the system doesn't catch it. The Website is designed to work on everything from a large monitor to your phone. If you do not remove the source formatting it will not allow the text to adjust the size dependent on the size of the device.
The Tx button will remove the source formatting on a selection if it doesn't get removed automatically.
Hyperlinks can be inserted into the body by using the little chain link icon. Please hyperlink a full statement instead of just the word "here" Visually impaired or keyboard only users are not getting a full explanation of where the hyperlink will take them with just the word "here" but they will if it says "Sign up for registration day here" If there is an existing hyperlink that you want to remove, the greyed out icon in the example will darken and you can click on the chainlink with the X to remove the hyperlink.
Please use the bullet and numbering tools on the toolbar instead of typing them in. This will maintain consistency in numbering as well as throughout the website. Content with bullets or numbering will cause the promotion demotion icons to activate.
The quotation mark icon will create a block quote such as this.
Videos can be displayed on the website. Click on the video icon and a box will come up that allows you to put in the YouTube address. Please uncheck Autoplay. Videos MUST be captioned to be on the website. It is strongly encouraged that videos are placed on the Official Northeastern YouTube Channel where captioning assistance is available. Also, music must be licensed with either BMI or ASCAP or are from royalty free sources. Any music that is not included in one of the subscription licensing services or royalty free source is copyright infringement and will be removed from the site.
Images can be added to your pages, but they need to be prepared prior to upload. Most roles do not have access to upload images. Please reach out for training or assistance with images. Images that are too large will crash the website and images that are too small will be displayed with very poor quality. If someone is texting or emailing an image to you, please ask them not to compress the image to small or extra small.
Tables can be created in the body, When you click on the Table Icon (right of the Image Icon) you can specify the desired number of columns and rows, and designate headings in the first row, first column or both.
A horizontal line can be inserted to separate text
Additional Style Elements
