TimeLineJS - How to Format using HTML
TimelineJS is an open-source tool that enables anyone to build visually rich, interactive Timelines.
If you experience issues with TimeLineJS, you may refer to the additional documentation or contact the ITS help desk at 909-621-8061 or servicedesk@pomona.edu. Additional video tutorials are available via Pomona College ITS at https://app.vidgrid.com/content/niPVwxoJ6aU7.
iFrame
The iFrame option can be used to embed other media types that TimeLineJS may not typically handle. Instead of a URL, users can simply use the <iframe> markup. For more information, reference https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe.
TimeLineJS’s text fields all accept HTML markup. For the following cases (making a block quote, line breaks, boldening text, and italicizing text), HTML markup is needed. The markup would occur on the Google spreadsheet used to make your Timeline.
Blockquote
Users can use <blockquote> tags around whatever text they want to quote. It is important to make sure the tag at the beginning of the text is <blockquote> and the tag at the end of the text is </blockquote>.
Paragraph
To create line breaks wrap paragraphs using <p> at the beginning and </p> at the end of a paragraph.
Bold
To make text bold, wrap text using <b> at the beginning of it and </b> at the end of it.
Italics
To make text italicized, wrap text using <i> at the beginning of it and </i> at the end of it.
