European Tribune - New User Guide

How do I insert a quote box?
Type the following lines above and below what you want to put in the box:
<div class="blockquote">
(your content here)
</div>
or, alternatively, the more traditional:
<blockquote>
(your content here)
</blockquote>

European Tribune - New User Guide

How do I embed a link?
Type the following text all on one line:
<a href="http://www.eurotrib.com" > The European Tribune</a>

These neat links with quoteboxes was made using the very handy Firefox extension TribExt, which makes it just as easy as ordinary copying and pasting. If you use it, you do not need to learn any html.

So, are you running Firefox? (If not, you really should get it here) If so, would you consider downloading and installing the new version of TribExt?

Re: Can you provide links? (none / 0)

I have downloaded Tribext - I think. How do I know it has installed successfully? What functionality does it give me, and how do I access it? I have manually used blockquotes and embedded links by copying the code from the new user guide - a slightly ponderous process. Be nice if you could just copy & paste formatted and embedded text from MS Word

The main function - that is the function I use the most - is if you mark a set of text in Firefox and rightclick you get the option "Copy HTML, URL, Title". If you do, when you paste you get this look:

In MS Word you can (I think, been ages since I used it) save documents as html. If you then open it in a raw text-editor like notepad you get to the html-code which you should (if all the html used is supported here) be able to paste in a comment window and get it more or less as it looked in Word. If I remember correctly Word had a tendency to add lots of unnecessary code, so not the ideal way by far. A graphic html-editor like Dreamweaver is better.

And it's not UNICODE-compliant, which creates all kinds of funny issues for users that don't use Internet Exploder.

And please, for the love of Chthulu, do not migrate entirely to a WYSIWYG interface. Typing the code is so much faster than point-and-click.

Oh, and you don't need to access the new user guide: All the permitted html tags and their syntax are available for ease of copying just below the main text window when you edit your comment.

Thanks guys - that function works really well. Is there much more undocumented functionality out there? We perhaps need to augment the new users guidelines.

I noticed a "who's online" tick box in the interface settings but can't find anywhere than shows me who is currently online. Is that a feature reserved for frontpagers?
