Question
What HTML tags can be used in GALILEO Admin?
Answer
Due to security and possible display issues, GALILEO Admin supports a subset of available HTML tags. Any other HTML tags will be automatically stripped out when displaying in the GALILEO portal.
HTML tags supported
<strong> strong text (used in place of bold tag)<em> emphasized text (used in place of the italic tag)<br> line break<p> new paragraph<a href=”...”> hyperlink
Note: Please remember to always add closing tags for each used.
Commonly used HTML tags that are no longer supported
<font> font face<font color=”...”> font color<ul> unordered list (for making a list)<ol> ordered list (for making a list)<li> list item (for making a list)<bold> retired bold tag (use strong tag instead)<i> retired italic tag (use emphasize tag instead)
Tip for Creating Lists
Since <ol>, <ul>, and <li> tags are no longer supported by GALILEO, you will need to create any listed items differently. This can be done using the code • along with <br />. This code will display a bullet point.
Before:
<ul>
<li> Item 1</li>
<li> Item 2 </li>
<li> Item 3 </li>
</ul>
After:
<p>
• Item 1 <br />
• Item 2 <br />
• Item 3 <br />
</p>
