Formatting Listings

This page explains how you can enhance NZ.com Listings by the use of:

Formatting can be used in the Short Description, Directory Listing, and Full Details fields to enhance Small Ads, Directory Listings and Listing pages.


Headings

The main heading for an NZ.Com Listing is the name of the listing. Second level headings can be added using the HTML commands <h2> and </h2>.


Bold

Bold: Bold can be used as an alternative to the HTML headings commands. To highlight those vital points you wish to convey bolding your text is very effective.

If you are editing your listing information you can bold text by using the HTML commands <b> at the start of the text you wish to bold and </b> at the end of that text.

e.g. <b>bolding your text is very effective</b>


Underlining

Underlining: Underlining can be used in conjunction with bolding as an alternative to the HTML headings commands. To underline points that you wish to convey underlining your text is very effective.

If you are editing your listing information you can underline text by using the HTML commands <u> at the start of the text you wish to bold and </u> at the end of that text.

e.g. <b>underlining your text is very effective</b>


Italics

Italics: As with bolding and underlining, italics can work well - especially as a quote.

The commands are similar to the bolding and underlining: <i> "I have found that using customer comments improves the effectiveness of my website" </i>


Lists

Lists: Bullet points listing features of your business can help communicate a lot of information efficiently.

Creating a list using HTML commands is a two step process - first you create the list using the <ul> command and finishing with </ul>. To start each new bullet point use <li>.

An example of a list may look like this: Tour Highlights include <ul><li>Lake Karapiro <li>Waitomo Glowworm Caves <li>Fitzgerald Glade </ul>.

This would display as:


Tour Highlights include
  • Lake Karapiro
  • Waitomo Glowworm Caves
  • Fitzgerald Glade
Numbered lists can be used by substituting the HTML unordered list command <ul> with the HTML ordered list command <ol> and finishing with </ol>. The list above would display as:

Tour Highlights include
  1. Lake Karapiro
  2. Waitomo Glowworm Caves
  3. Fitzgerald Glade

Separator Lines

Separator Lines: Lines can be used to separate information as an alternative to adding headings. Include the <hr> HTML command to do this. The effect is shown below.



HTML Formatting

When editing the text of a listing, the formatting commands described above are allowed to be included. Other text that looks like these formatting commands will be removed. This is to prevent the commands causing the page to be displayed incorrectly.
