HTML Help systems are built using cascading style sheets. Therefore in HTML there are a lot more Formatting Elements than in the other output formats. For each Formatting Element that consists of more than one line there is an additional Formatting Element called (block). Using Block Formatting Elements you can change paragraph formatting of the respective element. To change paragraph formatting for the whole page use the File Body and Page Content Body Formatting Elements.

In HTML Help systems scripts that are written from right to left can be used.

• If you use scripts that are written from right to left, select Right to left in Direction in the Element Editor for each Formatting Element.

Some fonts you can choose in the Element Editor might not be available on all computers where your Help is displayed.

• To make sure that your documentation can be viewed on all computers enter alternative fonts and font families (separated by comma) in Alternative.

In HTML some character formatting (for example bold) of section text also applies for links, lists and flags that are inserted in this section.

• To remove this formatting select the Clear check box.

In the field additional CSS you can insert any CSS code for the selected element. For example, you can apply a gradient to the background of an element or you can float the element.

In HTML borders can be drawn around each Formatting Element.
