The following functions are available with the facttext-editor: setting fonts as bold, italicized, and underlined, changing font colors and size, aligning text, creating listings, inserting pictures and links (internal and external), and creating simple tables.
In case you have problems to start the facttext-editor, please read the Technical Requirements.
Creating Texts
You have already clicked the button and saw the input mask before you. Click now on the left side on the red link switch to facttext editor mode, in order to call up the facttext-editor. Please be patient, as your browser will need some time to load the editor.
You can now begin to enter your text into the facttext-editor-window. In order to format, select the desired text and click on the appropriate button.
|  | Creating tables:
Please note, that only very simple tables can be created with the facttext-editor. Pasting pictures and dividing rows is not possible!
As the first step, select create table from the table menu. A pop-up window will open and you will be asked how many columns your table should have. The first row of the table will be created. Subsequently, one can supplement the table with further data, e.g., the number of rows. In addition you can position your cursor in the table and select the appropriate function from the table menu. |
As soon as your text entry and formatting is completed, click next>>.
Converting between HTML-mode and facttext-editor-mode
When one creates and edits a text, one should decide on one of the two input modes. Changing between the two modes is possible, however you must note that during conversion, much of the formatting is lost.
If you nevertheless would like to change the editing mode, click on the red link in the left column, that says either switch to html plain text mode or switch to facttext editor mode. In both cases a pop-up window will open, in which you are warned about the loss of formatting, should you continue. Here you can still cancel the conversion or proceed as desired.
| | Conversion from HTML -> facttext:
With this variant, you have the choice between an advanced or a fast conversion. The advanced conversion attempts to obtain a portion of the HTML coding, but cannot always deliver successful results. If the result doesnt meet your expectations, click right below on cancel in order to receive the original HTML variation. With the fast conversion, all HTML codes are automatically deleted and converted to pure text. |
| | Conversion from facttext -> HTML:
This conversion is somewhat more successful than the opposite variant. Tables are lost, however, in all cases. |
