Add Hyperlinks / HTML to School Forms

It would be nice to be able to bold certain sections, and to add hyperlinks into the text field category in School Forms. Many times we refer to an external document or have an email address, so a hyperlink would be nice to add instead of static text.

    Sorry Stephanie... about my post from yesterday.  Just figured out that these html codes show when the form is printed.  Ugh.  Sorry for not the best advice.  There is another idea posted to hide html codes when you print.  I voted for your idea and to hide codes.  : )

    Hi Stephanie,  It would be nice to have easier code buttons available in Forms.  In the meantime, you can add html coding to your text in your Forms yourself...  

    Below is a sampling of common codes.

    To bold type <b> before your text and then </b> after your text.

    To indent a single space, type &nbsp; before your text, or &emsp; for several spaces

    For a bullet type &bull; with or without some preceding indent spaces.

    For a hyperlink to file, follow this syntax (this will also open your link in a new window):

    <a href="https://filename" TARGET=" blank">click here</a>

    To hyperlink to an email, follow this syntax:   <a href="mailto:xxx@schoolname.org">email me</a>
