html tags in page titles..help!

have been trying html tags in the Name: and Description: fields for resources in a course.

however, the (<img>) tag from "Name:" appears in the page title for the resource

and

the urls I've added to the description field open in the top frame rather than displaying in the resource (lower) frame and the the urls all have line breaks between them instead of them all appearing on one line

i.e.
<a href="http://mysite.whatever.co.uk/quat/file.php/2/background/back1.html">
Page 1</a><a href="http://mysite.whatever.co.uk/quat/file.php/2/background/back2.html">
Page 2</a><a href="http://mysite.whatever.co.uk/quat/file.php/2/background/back3.html">
Page 3</a>

(entered in the description field) becomes
<a href="http://mysite.whatever.co.uk/quat/file.php/2/background/back1.html"> <br>
Page 1</a><a href="http://mysite.whatever.co.uk/quat/file.php/2/background/back2.html"> <br>
Page 2</a><a href="http://mysite.whatever.co.uk/quat/file.php/2/background/back3.html"> <br>
Page 3</a>
on the resulting page!

any ideas?

The html editor will only render html if you switch to text mode, rather than default WYSIWYG mode. To do this, click on <> in the html editor, and paste your html in, and then save. Here's your text entered in text mode:
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3


As for the name field, I'm not sure it is possible at all to use html tags.

great!

unfortunately, while the links do look as they should now, they do still load in the _top frame instead of underneath.

at least that's one strangeness out of the way. thanks for that.

I wasn't quite sure what you meant by the frame business, perhaps you can post a screenshot?

actually, I wasn't using the html editor, as there is no such thing for the description field for resources.  Thus all problems remain.

I have since noticed I am using version 1.3.1 - not the latest version.


the editor applet thing (with justification/text styles in it) is available for page editing etc. but it definetly does not appear in the description field - is this a change in the more recent versions?
