formating text in briefing

[Specter 0]

what i want is something like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

O Primary

  O Primary Objective 1

  O Primary Objective 2

O Secondary

  O Secondary Objective 1

  O Secondary Objective 2

i got the empty line, but i can't align the objectives the way i want

[terox 316]

<p align="center"><b>Place text here</b>

hope that helps

never tried align "right"

or

align "left", but as this is a simplified html code, it probably will work

i've already tried align, but it get's me

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

O Primary

O          Primary Objective instead of

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

O Primary

  O Primary Objective

i want the circle to be moved as well, not only the text

I'm afraid this is not possible.

Since briefings are HTML, you could use the listcommand.

Hold on and I'll dig it up.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>HTML </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><span style='color:#333333'><<span style='color:blue'>DL</span>>

<<span style='color:blue'>DT</span>> Primary

<<span style='color:blue'>DD</span>> What about it?

<<span style='color:blue'>DD</span>> Primary

<<span style='color:blue'>DD</span>> What about it?

<<span style='color:blue'>DT</span>> Primary

<<span style='color:blue'>DD</span>> What about it?

</<span style='color:blue'>DL</span>></span>

Check it out here.

Alike what your trying to achive is this.

Not all HTML tags work in briefings.

i would love to answer that, but all i can tell you is that the briefing totally ignores those tags... doesn't give me an error or something.

Hm, thought it was an HTML document, just that another background was added when it was in OFP.

Too bad then. I guess you could use a special keycombo for spaces that are counted as letters.

Meaning; ALT + 999 = ţ

Don't remember the combination for a " " though, but I think just a " " (without it being a letter, being a space) should work.

EDIT: How this sign looks depend on what coding you use!

Yes, it is an HTML document, but something has to parse the text and render it. It's not like there's a Mozilla/Opera/IE control embedded in it.

OFP only uses simple tags like <p>,<br>,<h1>, etc...

There is a briefing.doc file on the Flashpoint1985 website which explains exactly what you can use.

I looked into this and, this is near to impossible as you can only wright an objective as a headline, not with smaller descriptions under them, ie:

NAME OF MISSION

-----------------

Obj1

Obj2

Obj3

-----------------

Notes

And so on, so on...

So you cannot format it like you are wanting, but if you make a script to change this, I will be forever grateful.

i honestly have no idea whatsoever of how to script something like that

You can't script anything to modify the notebook other than to change the objective, score, and such.

You could make a custom dialog just for this using the notebook model. However, you'll either end up with two notebooks (the regular one and the new custom objective one) or disable the regular notebook from the start, but you lose all control of your units from the notebook pages.

Not really, you can script that too. But why bother? I mean, that's like two weeks of serious dialog-scripting, if not more. If someone does that dialog only for some fancy formatting I seriously question their amount of spare time.

Indeed sadly it doesn't.

I thought this would do the trick too

but simply doesn't work in FlashPoint
