Course Menu Item names can contain HTML

If you are comfortable using HTML you can change the appearance of the menu items on the course menu or create dividers to better organize the links for your students.

1. Change appearance of text on menu

i.      Click on the Manage Course menu link in the Control Panel.

ii.     On the Manage Course Menu Items Page click on the modify button for one of the areas.

iii.   In the name text box add the appropriate HTML tags around the name

Examples:

<b>Announcements</b> displays Announcements in bold face

<i>Announcements</i> displays Announcements in italics

<font color=FF00FF>Announcements</font> displays Announcements in magenta

2. Create Horizontal rules to better organize links

i.      Click on the Manage Course menu link in the Control Panel.

ii.     On the Manage Course Menu Items Page click on the add area button to create a new content area.

iii.   In the name text box enter: <hr width=85% align=right>

iv.    Click submit

This code creates a grey horizontal rule 85% of the width of the menu frame and right-aligned with the menu text.
