  1. Basic (and Useful) HTML & CSS • <br /> Break (to start on a new line) • <hr /> Horizontal Rule (a line across the page) • <img /> Image (more on this later) • <ul></ul> Unordered List (bullet points) • <ol></ol> Ordered List (numbered) • <li></li> List Item (required for both unordered and ordered lists) • <span></span> Enclosures to format fonts • <div></div> Enclosures to format borders (block-level) • <blockquote></blockquote> Similar to DIV, but has inherent properties • style="" Tag for formatting (always separate and end with a semi-colon) • font-family: arial, "Times New Roman" "Free 3 of 9" • font-size: 12pt, 2em - play with the numbers until you find the right size • text-align: left, center, right (adjusts font within a block, not the block itself) • border: 2px solid #000000 (2 pixels think, solid [not dashed], and black [only option?])

  2. Inserting an Image • <img /> Image • src="" path to image (required) • width="" width in pixels (optional) • height="" height in pixels (optional) • Examples: • Image on the web: <imgsrc="http://chelmsfordlibrary.org/assets/images/cpl-logo.gif" /> • Image on local computer: <imgsrc="file:///C:/Users/reference01/Desktop/cpl-logo.gif " /> • Image on network server: <imgsrc="file:///S:\public_html\assets\images\cpl-logo.gif " /> • Images from the web or network are easy to update once for all computers, but might be slower • Images from local computer are most reliable, but also need to be managed on each individual computer • Slashes can go either way • Remember receipt printers (probably) only print in black & white • This lets you add QR codes, too!

  3. Printing a Scannable Barcode • This lets you print a barcode on a receipt, that can be scanned • Saves staff from retyping patron barcode if they don't have they're card • Will work with self-check machines too • Can use for patron or item barcodes • Requires a barcode font to be installed on the computer (each computer) • http://www.dafont.com/barcode-font.font (shows plain text under barcode lines) • http://www.dafont.com/3of9-barcode.font (just barcode lines) • Code to make it happen: • <span style="font-family:'Free 3 of 9';font-size:40pt;">*%PATRON_BARCODE%*</span> • (replace "font-family" with other font name if using a different style of barcode) • Tips: • Barcode number (%PATRON_BARCODE%) must have an * before and after it to trigger scanner • There is a minimum size that will work, so play around • Will still work if the receipt gets crinkled

  4. Special Macros and Conditional Printing • “Sum” - Allows for summing of values throughout a slip. The sum sources can include a single leading non-digit character, such as a dollar sign. The fixed="2" in the example below tells the code to always include exactly 2 decimal places when placing the sum into the field. • In the “Line Item” box: • <span style="display: none;" sum="sum1">%price%</span> • In the “Footer” box: • <blockquote style="font-size:11pt;text-align:center;border: 2px solid #000000;"> • Cost of buying these items:<br />$<span sumout="sum1” fixed="2"></span><br /> • Cost of using the library:<br />Priceless! • </blockquote> • This does not display in the preview window, or when not using Mozilla print strategy

  5. Special Macros and Conditional Printing • “Swap Slip” - Allows changing out parts of a slip based on a different part of the slip. • <div altgroup="print1" altid="main"> • <span altcheck="print1">%some_replace%</span> • <!-- Other slip stuff --> • </div> • <div altgroup="print1" altid="alt1" style="display: none"> • <!-- Alt slip stuff --> • </div> • <div altgroup="print1" altid="alt2" style="display: none"> • <!-- Second alt slip stuff --> • </div> • <div style="display: none"> • <span alt="print1" altshow="alt1">Code1</span> • <span alt="print1" altshow="alt2">Code2</span> • </div> • This does not display in the preview window, or when not using Mozilla print strategy
