Publishing Guide: Basic HTML  
 
Summary: Find out how to use HTML (HyperText Markup Language) to format Blink and TritonLink Web pages.

HTML is the programming language used to format pages created in the Portal Services' content management system. Without HTML, the text in Blink and TritonLink Web pages would run together with no bold, bullet lists, or paragraph breaks. HTML uses "tags" to create formatting.

To create an HTML tag, use the less-than and greater-than signs: < and >.
The examples below include all the HTML you need to know to create a Blink or TritonLink page.
