Formatting Tips

your entries will appear as a single block of plain text unless you use html tags; five common tags are explained below; consider using at least the first or second tag to help separate items in a list

will insert a paragraph break at that point, e.g. "The end. Next story." looks like this:
The end.

Next story.

will do a line break at that point, e.g. "city st zip " looks like this:
city
st
zip

this text will bold "this text"; looks like this:
this text

this text will italicize "this text"; looks like this:
this text

<a href= "http://gse.berkeley.edu"> Visit the GSE</a> creates a link to another web site or document. Clicking on "Visit the GSE" will take the user to http://gse.berkeley.edu; looks and acts like this:
Visit the GSE

this tag can also be used to create links to downloadable files: <a href= "mybook.pdf"> Click here to get a pdf of my book</a>
send me a copy of the file to install on our web server.

hard returns are ignored when displayed on the web (remember: use the tag instead), but you can use them in the text boxes to the right to add white space and enhance your readability.

to facilitate editing and to provide a backup of your entries, the listings can be copied, pasted, and saved to a local text document; edits could be made there and copied and pasted into these text boxes when ready.

if you are using Microsoft Word, please save the file in a text version first. if, instead, you copy and paste from a Microsoft Word document format, certain non-standard text characters will not display correctly, especially "smart" quotes, "smart" apostrophes, diacritical marks and accents. ("Smart" means that those characters curve in to mark the opening and closing of phrases; standard quotes and apostrophes do not.)

you can use these characters if you know the html equivalent (e.g., é — note the opening ampersand and closing semi-colon — will display as: é (here is a list of other html entities .)

other examples:
bullet: • = •
em dash:— = —
copyright: © = ©
lozenge: &loz; = ◊
n tilde: ñ = ñ

the preview shows all categories, but the web page will only show categories that have entries. the saved data will be transferred to the GSE web site within a few days. (Contact vicwong@berkeley.edu for notification or help.)

we will need a jpg image of you approximately 180 pixels high. if you wish to have your cv available, please send me a pdf of it (if you don't have a pdf — easily created in Mac OS X by "printing" and clicking "save as PDF" — send me your cv).

if you're feeling ambitious, you can use tables to align text horizontally; this is done by creating a table and putting the strings of text into individual cells (table detail within a table row).
<table>
<tr>
<td>cows</td> <td>22</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>elephants</td> <td>28</td>
</tr>

looks like this:

cows	22
elephants	28
pigs	19

(use <tr valign=top> to align text along the top edge of the row for cells with different number of lines) (see professional experience to the right for another example)
