Hero Help: Quick HTML Guide Homework Hero is designed to be simple to use. You do NOT need to know or use HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). However, if you wish to customize the appearance of your page with HTML, you can.. On the assignment update form, just include your HTML code in any of the text entry boxes. Warning: Some HTML code may produce unpredictable results -- for example, I advise against converting complete Word documents or Excel tables to HTML and then pasting. Also, be aware that Homework Hero generally converts line breaks into the HTML line breaks -- this makes things easy for the majority of users who will not use HTML. The "Custom HTML" item on the update form is an exception; no line breaks are inserted here (which makes this the best place to insert larger blocks of HTML copied from other sources). HTML Tags described here: Example 1.
Make Text Bold Example 1. Bold Text. To make text bold, enter: <b>This text is bold.</b> to produce this: This text is bold. Example 2. Add Color. To add color, enter: <font color=red>This text is red.</font> to produce the following result: This text is red. Example 3. Combine Font Changes. To produce text that is bold and red and in the Times New Roman font, enter: <b><font color=red face=Times New Roman>This text is bold and red and Times New Roman</font></b> to produce: This text is bold and red and Times New Roman Example 4. Favorite Links. You can also use HTML to insert hyperlinks to your favorite sites or sites students should access to complete an assignment. If you enter the next 4 lines into a Homework Hero text box, you will get a list of my favorite links produced on your assignment page. You can customize these by substituting your own favorite web addresses and descriptions for the expressions in black. These are some of
my favorite links: The preceding four lines of HTML will produce the following four lines on your Homework Hero assignment pages: These are some of my favorite links: Students viewing your page can then click your links to immediately access your favorite sites. Homework Hero has standard options for uploading an image or placing an image on your page that is already posted on the web. However, you may also want to add images elsewhere. The following line will insert a nice picture of me into your assignment page: <img src="http://209.235.202.169/images/main/chipsmall.jpg"> To insert a more interesting graphic, substitute its URL (see next paragraph) for the letters in red. Note: This works for images already posted on the internet. Please be aware that some images may be copyright protected -- do not use these! Some sites also prohibit such references --- if the image does not display properly, this is probably the case. What if you do not know the URL for the image you wish to post? In Internet Explorer, click on the image with your right mouse button. Select properties from the pop-up box. The properties box will then display the image location (URL). Right mouse click on the URL. Then choose select all. Again right mouse click on the URL. Choose copy. Then paste into the appropriate location in your code. You can add scrolling text in a marquee with the following HTML: <MARQUEE BGCOLOR="white"><font color=red face=Times New Roman>This week's Student of the Week is HENRY CHAPPELL!"</font></MARQUEE> Homework Hero Version 2.0 |
