Form Fields support basic HTML so you can add formatting and links to your registration questions.

If you want to add italicized text, paragraph breaks, or links to waivers or materials lists to you form field questions, follow the steps below.

How to italicize text:

  • Navigate to Listings → Form Fields
  • Create a new form field 
  • Add your text without HTML
  • Surround just the word or words that you want to be italicized with <em> and </em>

Example: 

Let’s say your question is this:

What is your camper’s t-shirt size? Please use youth sizes.

But you want it to look like this:

What is your camper’s t-shirt size? Please use youth sizes.

Then you should write it like this:

  What is your camper's t-shirt size? Please use <em>youth</em> sizes.

 

How to add a paragraph break:

  • Navigate to Listings → Form Field
  • Add your text without HTML
  • Surround each separate paragraph with <p> and </p>

Example:

Let’s say your text is this:

Photo Release Do you give permission for your student’s picture to be taken and used on our website? This is a prerequisite for participation in our programs.

But you want it to look like this:

Photo Release

Do you give permission for your student’s picture to be taken and used on our website?

This is a prerequisite for participation in our programs.

Then you should write it like this:

<p>Photo Release</p>
<p> Do you give permission for your student's picture to be taken and used on our website </p>
<p><em>This is a prerequisite for participation in our programs.</em></p>

 

How to add a hyperlink:

  • Navigate to Listings → Form Fields
  • Create a new form field
  • Add your text without HTML
  • Follow this format: <a href="ADD URL HERE"target="_blank">ADD THE WORDS YOU WANT TO BE CLICKABLE HERE</a>
  • NOTE: In order for your URL to work, it must include https:///www.

Example:

Let’s say your question is this:

Do you consent to our terms and conditions?

But you want it to look like this:

Do you consent to our terms and conditions?

Then you should write it like this:

Do you consent to <a href="https://www.hisawyer.com/terms"target="_blank">our terms and conditions</a>?

 

Things to note:

  • This works in Field Title and Options
  • You can see a preview of your basic HTML in the Preview Form Field section
  • The above three examples are not the only basic HTML that work in Form Fields
  • Bolding text is not an option because all form field text is bolded by default
