Fancy Characters & Styling

For text fields and captions.

On occasion, you will need to display fancy characters or use italics in an area with no WYSIWYG editor to assist you, in one of Cascade's plain text fields, such as the page title, teaser, or a caption.

Special Characters in Text Fields

Most characters will paste accurately into a plain-text field from a source such as Word. Copy and paste the character into the field in Cascade, then submit the page to confirm whether it displays correctly.

Italics, Bold & Superscript in Captions

When italics or superscript are needed in a caption (photosets, slideshows), wrap the words or phrases in the designated "pseudo code":

• {em} {/em} for italics
• {strong} {/strong} for bold - avoid use of bold in captions
• {sup} {/sup} for superscript

For example, the following caption:

H.M.S. {em}Pinafore{/em}

Will display as:

H.M.S. Pinafore
