Inserting HTML Elements

With GINF, you can add numerous HTML elements to your pages, without any knowledge of HTML.

Inserting Breaks

You can add line (<BR>) and paragraph (<P>) breaks to text by clicking on Insert > Break > Line Break and Paragraph Break respectively.

Inserting Horizontal Line

Clicking on the Line button or on Insert > Horizontal Line inserts a horizontal line of default width 100% of the window.

Inserting Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks form the heart of the World Wide Web. Select the text to be linked, and click on Link button on the toolbar or on Insert > Hyperlink to insert a hyperlink. A dialogue-box will appear in which you can type the location to which you want to link the text. A screenshot of the dialogue-box is given below:

You can also choose whether to link to a Web site (HTTP), ftp server, or to an e-mail address, for instance.

Inserting Images

You can insert images to the document by clicking on the Image button, or on Insert > Images. You will get a dialogue-box in which you can choose the image you want to insert. The dialogue box is shown below.

By default a spacing of 1 pixel is provided around the image, but this is customisable. You can also optionally enter alternate text to appear if the browser doesn't load the image (<ALT> tag), specify a solid border around the image, and also restrict the image to a custom size. Click on OK to apply the changes, or Cancel to cancel.

Inserting HTML Code

Click on Insert > HTML Code to insert raw HTML code into the document. No syntax checking will be done on the tags you type. This is an alternative to directly typing the HTML code in the Source view, and obviates the need to navigate to the location where you want to add, since by default the HTML code will be added at the cursor position.
