The Format menu in GINF provides an easy way of formatting your text. The
tool-bars also make this easily accessible.
Specifying Font
You can change the font of a text by selecting it and clicking on the font
drop-down menu in the tool-bar. Currently only two fonts -- variable width
and fixed width are supported.
Specifying Font Size
You change the size of the font in relative HTML by selecting the text
and clicking on the font size spin-button in the tool-bar.
Specifying Font Style
You can make your text bold, italic, underlined or
striked
out by clicking on their respective icons in the tool-bar, or
by invoking Format > Font Style submenu.
Specifying Font Colour
You can change the colour of the font by clicking on the colour-selection
button in the tool-bar and specifying the new colour.
Specifying Text Type
HTML allows for certain predefined, browser- and platform-independent methods
of specifying the format of a text. You can choose to display text in various
heading sizes, or as normal text. This is provided by the Text-type drop-down
menu in the tool-bar.
Formatting Text as List
You can convert text as a bulletted or numbered list by selecting it and
clicking on the list icons in the tool-bar. Additionally, Format > List
sub-menu allows you to create an alphabetic or roman-numeralled list.
Formatting Paragraph
The Format > Paragraph submenu allows you to format the selected text as
an address element. You can also specify that the selected text has been
plain-formatted, and that it is to be displayed as it is, by clicking on
the Pre-formatted menu-button.
Specifying Alignment
You can choose to align selected text on the left, centre, or on the right
by clicking on the alignment icons in the toolbar.
Indenting Text
There are two icons on the tool-bar to increase or decrease the indentation
of the text. Alternatively, you can click on Format > Increase Indent and
Decrease Indent menu-buttons for the same purpose.
