HTML Tags - Basic

Conference Manager Software uses HTML (HyperText Markup Language) within its forms to allow you to format instructions or information.

  • HTML instructions are called tags
  • A tag consists of an <element name> surrounded by left and right angle brackets
  • An <element name> tag marks the beginning of a section
  • The end of the section is then marked by the ending tag </element name>
  • End, or stop tags are always preceded by the slash / character

The table below displays a selection of very basic HTML tags to get you started.

*Note: It is advisable to use single quotes ' ' not double quotes when formatting html in conference manager

<br>

  • The <br> tag is used to end a line when you don't want to start a new paragraph
  • The <br> tag forces a line break wherever it is placed
  • The <br> tag is an empty tag. It has no end tag

How to Open Hyperlinks in a New Browser Tab or Window

The short answer is: just add a target="_blank" attribute to your links (anchor tags).

For example, if you have a link that says the following:

<a href="https://www.thesitewizard.com/">thesitewizard.com</a>

Change the above so that it now says:

<a href="https://www.thesitewizard.com/" target="_blank">thesitewizard.com</a>
