WYSIWYG stands for “what you see is what you get." This acronym is used because when you use each of the tools provided by the toolbar, they appear in edit mode as they would when the document is published.
Styles
The Styles drop down is a tool to format a link as a button.
To add a button, create a hyperlink, highlight the hyperlinked text, select the Styles dropdown and choose button.
Bold
The bold tool is used sparingly for emphasis and more frequently when starting a new section under Heading 4 when the larger headings have been used preceding Heading 4.
Italics
Italicize text only when AP Style punctuation rules apply. For example, when citing the title of a book.
Bulleted List
The bulleted list tool is used as frequently as possible when listing items. When bulleting lists that are full sentences, include a period at the end of each bulleted item. When bulleting itemized lists, periods are not required.
Numbered List
The numbered bulleted list tool is used for prioritized lists. The same rules apply for numbered bullet lists as unnumbered bullet lists above.
Hyperlink
The hyperlink tool allows you to insert or edit a hyperlink to a URL or email address. Highlight the text that you would like to be the link and click the hyperlink tool. Insert the URL that you want to link to or start typing the GRCC page name. The auto complete field will list matching content, select the page from the list and save.
Note:
- If you are linking to a website outside of grcc.edu, select the Open in a new window checkbox. This will open the webpage in a new window and allow users to simultaneously remain on our website.
- The text that you link to should always be descriptive of the destination of the link. For example: Disability Support Services provides students with accommodations for testing and classroom instruction.
Never use "click here". This language does not tell users where they will be directed.
Unlink
The unlink tool allows you to unlink a hyperlinked text. Highlight the text you wish to unlink and select the unlink tool.
Inline Accessibility Checker
This tool checks for errors that may have been introduced to the body of the webpage. It will check for a correct use of headers, link language and any table formatting errors causing the webpage to be inaccessible.
