These are some copy and paste tag examples to use in skyWriter. They include the basic tags for inserting Links, Images, Lists, and Tables, and for using Attributes.
A hyperlink: (To link to an anchor, href="#anchorName")
your link text<a href="http://yourURL.com">your link text</a>
A hyperlink that opens in a new window:
your link text<a href="http://yourURL.com" target="_blank">your link text</a>
(opens another new window each time)<a href="http://yourURL.com" target="yourwindow">your link text</a>
(opens into same "yourwindow" every time)
An anchor (in-page) link:
(To link to this point in the page, use href="#anchorName" in a link)<a name="anchorName"></a>
e.g., <a href="#top">go to top</a> will jump to <a name="top"></a>.
An email link:
skyBuilders Info<a href="mailto:info@skybuilders.com"> skyBuilders Info</a>
An image:
<img src="https://yourURL.tld/yourIMG.gif" border="0" alt="alt text">
An image that is a hyperlink (just replaced your link text with the image tag itself. Set border="0" attribute to hide the blue border around image links):
<a href="http://yourURL.com" target="_blank"><img src="https://yourURL.tld/yourIMG.gif" border="1" alt="alt text for the tool tip popup for the tool tip popup"></a>
A size 5 red font (deprecated in favor of CSS style sheets):
your text<font face="helvetica,arial,sans-serif" size="5" color="#cc3333">your text</font>

<strong>bold</strong>, <em>italic</em>, and <strong><em>bold italic</em></strong> text.
