Advanced Formatting Techniques
Simple sign supports the use of HTML tags so you can format your sign however you would like. There are great free tutorials and a comprehensive HTML reference located here: HTML Tutorial
Adding line breaks
The text will wrap to the next line after it exceeds a certain character length.
However, if you want each word to be on its own line, or manually add breaks in the line, you will need to use the <br> HTML tag. In the example below, we have used the <br> tag to move the text to the next line. You can place <br> anywhere you would like a line break.
Formatting Text
Simple sign supports the use of tags that format the appearance of text. Here are some examples:
- <b> will bold the text.
- <em> will italicize the text.
- <ins> will underline the text.
- <del> will strikethrough the text.
- <div align="center"> will center align the text. You can replace the "center" option with "left" or "right" too!
The example below shows what each of the tags will look like when used on your sign:
