Lists

Click

to create a new list. If there is a selection, each line in the selection

becomes a list item (

<LI>

). By default the list is an unordered (bulleted) list

(

<UL>

). You can use the Inspector to change the list to an ordered list (

<OL>

).

You can also change the way in which lists appear; for example, displaying
an ordered list in Roman numerals (on browsers that support this feature).

When typing in a list:

Press Shift-Enter to create a new list item. (If you simply press Enter,
you will create a line break but no new list item.)

Press Tab to create a new list nested inside the original list.

Press Shift-Tab to move the nesting out one level.

Headings

Click

to create a heading. By default, an

<H3>

element is created. You

can use the Inspector to change the level of the heading to between

<H1>

and

<H6>

.

Horizontal Rule

Click

to create horizontal rule (

<HR>

) element. You can use the

Inspector to vary its height and width, and whether it is displayed in 3D.

Images

Click

to add a static image (

<IMG>

). A Select Image panel appears,

allowing you to select an image file to display at the insertion point. The
Inspector allows you to change the image’s properties, including its size, file
path, and whether it uses an absolute or relative reference.

Note:

Any selected elements are replaced by the image.

With static images, you must specify a known file path. You can also create
a dynamic image, which refers to an image file that lives in your project or in
a framework. See “Dynamic Images” for more information.

To set an image for the page background, see “Setting Page Attributes”.
