Other editing options
- Allow Multiple Consecutive Spaces (uses ) lets the user insert multiple consecutive spaces between words. When this option is selected and a user inserts multiple spaces, Contribute inserts multiple
nbsp
entities ( ...
), which causes browsers to display all of the spaces instead of only one space. - Enforce Accessibility Options (such as ALT text for images) specifies that Contribute should always prompt users for accessibility information so that the HTML generated by Contribute is more accessible to people with disabilities. For example, when inserting an image, Contribute prompts the user to enter alternative text to be displayed in the event a web page cannot display images, or the viewer of the page has visual disabilities.
Contribute cannot validate whether Flash content is accessible, and cautions users when Flash content is inserted.
- Use <strong> and <em> in place of <b> and <i> specifies that, when users format text as bold or italic, Contribute should use the
strong
and em
tags instead of the b
and i
tags. The b
and i
tags are considered deprecated in the latest the HTML specification. - Line break type pop-up menu lets you specify which character combination Contribute uses to denote line endings in the saved file.
The default is Windows, which uses a carriage return and then a line feed to denote a line break. This value should be set based on the host machine for the website--not the computer being used to edit the page.
