Managing styles and font permissions
The Styles and Fonts category in the Permission Group dialog box
lets you control whether typographic styles and fonts appear in
the Contribute toolbar, as well as what kinds of typographical
styles users can apply to text.
NOTE: The recommended setting is to allow all Styles (all
3 checkboxes marked) and disable all Fonts (turn off all checkboxes).
The <font> tag in HTML is being
phased out. Site administrators should discourage the use
of fonts and instead convert their site to Styles.
Setting style permissions
The Styles section of the Styles and Fonts category in the Permission
Group dialog box determines whether users can apply styles, and
if so, which styles they can use within the web site. If the "Allow
users to apply styles" option is selected, users can modify heading
and paragraph styles using the Contribute editor toolbar or menu
commands. If this option is deselected, the user cannot apply new
paragraph styles.
Two options determine which styles appear in the editing toolbar’s
Style menu:
- Include HTML paragraph and heading styles in the Style
menu specifies that the standard HTML Paragraph, Heading1,
Heading2, Heading3, Heading4, Heading5, and Heading6 tags
are available.
- Include CSS styles in the Style menu specifies that any custom
CSS styles defined for the site will appear in the Style menu.
Note: To prevent a CSS style from being available to Contribute
users, the site administrator can change the name of the
style so that the name starts with mmhide_ . For example,
if you use a style named course-abbrev in
a page
but you don’t want Contribute users to be able to use that
style, rename the style to mmhide_course-abbrev.
The Fonts section of the Styles and Fonts category in the Permission
Group dialog box lets you specify how users modify font styles,
if you have chosen to use the HTML <font> tag which is being phased
out.
Contribute has the following font permissions options:
- Allow users to apply fonts and
sizes activates the font and size menus in the Contribute editor
toolbar. This lets users
choose the fonts and font sizes to use in the page. If this option
is not selected, Contribute uses the font styles and sizes defined
in the page’s HTML source code.
- Inline CSS styles specifies
that Contribute applies fonts using inline CSS font tags. Note: this
is the preferred option if you chose to use site fonts.
- Apply sizes using pop-up menu lets you choose the unit
of measure to display in the Contribute editor toolbar: points,
pixels, or ems. The recommended setting is pixels.
- HTML tags specifies that Contribute applies fonts using HTML
font tags.
