Using HTML tags in question and response texts
The interview scripting language supports the following HTML tags inside question and response texts:
|
Tag
|
Description
|
|
<b> ... </b>
|
Bold text
|
|
<i> ... </i>
|
Italic text
|
|
<u> ... </u>
|
Underlined text
|
|
<br/>
|
Line break
|
Other HTML tags must be escaped. For example, to include & (ampersand) in a label, you must use &. You must do this even if you are including an interview start URL in a link; for example, change:
StartSurvey "<a href = ""http://<server_identifier>/mrIWeb/mrIWeb.dll
?I.Project=<project_name>
&Id=Test"">Click here to start the survey</a>"
info;
to:
StartSurvey "<a href = ""http://<server_identifier>/mrIWeb/mrIWeb.dll
?I.Project=<project_name>
&Id=Test"">Click here to start the survey</a>"
info;
For more information, see
Names and labels.
Some special characters (for example, > and <) must be encoded to display them in question or response texts. However, they do not have to be encoded when used in tags in well‑formed HTML. Make sure that labels are well-formed HTML; that is, there is an opening tag and a closing tag, and the tags are properly nested. See also
Labels.
