You can customize or quickly adjust some of the visual aspects of your bulletins using basic HTML5. However, the <font> tag is obsolete in HTML5; therefore, to modify font properties, refer to common cascading style sheets (CSS) classes instead. You can use the <span> tag to group individual inline-elements (described below) within a bulletin. The ability to embed HTML5 within bulletins means you can use <iframe> and embed Adobe Flash (“.swf”) files—although COMPanion doesn't recommend anyone doing so without the proper experience. Below are some examples of custom HTML5 that can be embedded in bulletins.


Please exercise caution. Improper HTML5 formatting has the potential to visually cripple your bulletins.

When linking to external images, it is very important that you specify (and don't go beyond) the maximum image width of 200px unless you want to visually cripple your bulletin boards.
