Using HTML in OSCE mark sheets

HTML (hypertext markup language) is the standard markup language for creating webpages. HTML describes the structure of a web page and consists of a series of elements that determine how the browser displays the content. An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag. 

<start tag name>Content goes here</end tag name>

Some HTML elements have no content (like the <br> element used to enter a single line break). These elements are called empty elements. Empty elements do not have an end tag.

Adding HTML text formatting to OSCE mark sheets

The following advice is applicable to users working in risr/assess versions prior to 8.19. In version 8.19 an improvement has been made to add a WYSIWYG editor to the marksheet alleviating the need to manually edit the HTML directly.

To add HTML formatting to the mark sheet, use the HTML formatting elements before and after the content in the Text field of a mark sheet. Alternatively, you can copy the HTML template below to the appropriate position in your mark sheet as a starting point.

<b>Bold text</b>

<i>Italic text</i>

<mark>Highlighted</mark>

<del>Strikethrough</del>

<ins>Underline</ins>

A<sub>Subscript text</sub>

B<sup>Superscript text</sup>

<ol>
<li>Ordered list item 1</li>
<li>Ordered list item 2</li>
<li>Ordered list item 3</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>Unordered list item A</li>
<li>Unordered list item B</li>
<li>Unordered list item B</li>
</ul>

Below are examples of how it'll appear in the backend of assess, assess for browser and iPad.
