Have you ever wanted to call everyone’s attention to a specific line in a recipe?
Do not cook longer than 10 minutes!
Add ingredients in this specific order!
Do not preheat your oven!
Certain directions are critical to the outcome of a favorite dish and Family Cookbook Project has made it easy if you want to bold your text in a recipe. You just have to learn HTML or HyperText Markup Language, the programming language of every website on the Internet.
Now before you say “I’m not a computer programmer, I can barely turn on my laptop””. It’s super easy for what you want to do.
In directions, comments and ingredients when you are adding a new recipe, you can use simple HTML tags like:
<b>BOLD</b>
<i>Italic</i>
<u>Underline</u>
Replace the word between the tags with what you want to appear in that format. It’s as simple as that!
For example <b>Do not cook longer than 10 minutes!</b> looks like this Do not cook longer than 10 minutes!
If you use Do not cook longer than 10 minutes! it will look like this: Do not cook longer than 10 minutes!
and if you use <u>Do not cook longer than 10 minutes!</u> it will look like this Do not cook longer than 10 minutes!
The most important thing to remember is that all tags start with “<>” and end with a “</>”. If you forget the /> then everything else in your recipe will be based on the tag you used. Don’t forget your “</>”!
Family Cookbook Project is always looking for ways to make your favorite recipes come to life for you and your family.
