Max Article Submit is not designed to be a be-all, end-all of article creation systems. No program can do that, as it would end up being another web publishing program.

So the pages that it creates are according to a standard, perhaps a simplistic standard. As you get familiar with Max Article Submit, you may find yourself wanting to do some things that aren't a part of the system.

For example, you may want to put sub-headings in articles and have those sub-headings be centered.  Or you may find other places where you want to center and/or adjust the appearance of the text on the page. Or have the text be a different color than black.

You can put HTML code into the articles themselves. Here's a few that can be used that are fairly simple...

Centering Text:
Put <center> before the text and </center> after the text.
Example:  <center>This is a centered sub-heading</center>

Bolding Text:
Put <b> before the text and </b> after the text.
Example:  <b>This text will be bold</b>

Italicizing Text:
Put <i before the text and </i> after the text.
Example:  <i>This text will be italicized</i>

Underlining Text:
Put <u> before the text and </u> after the text.
Example:  <u>This text will be Underlined</u>

The above can be used in combination. For example:
<center><b><i>This is a centered, bold, italicized sub-heading</i></b></center>

Color is a bit more complicated. In future releases of Max Article Submit, it may be easier to use color. For now, if you want to colorize a text line, you can play with:

<font color="blue">The text to color</font>

But now we're starting to get away from the purpose of Max Article Submit which is to make things simple. So let's look at the CSS file which controls the format and layout of the system pages...

The Article Submit system formatting is controlled by a CSS file. The CSS file is called 'stories.css'  Being a text file, it can be edited with a text editor.  All the tags are documented in the CSS file. Here is basically what it says within the CSS file:

(Note: the content tag is used to format all articles, when displayed in the Main Articles list at articles.php)
