Logical Tags
Logical tags are translated into visual tags with optional parameters. Logical tags can not be used as parameter to each other nor as parameter to a visual tag, to avoid recursion.
| Logical Style | HTML? | Translates into |
|---|---|---|
BIG | * | => TEXT SIZE=+2 |
BLOCKQUOTE | * | => BQ |
CITE | * | => I |
CODE | * | => TT |
EM | * | => I |
FONT | * | => TEXT |
HUGE | => TEXT SIZE=+3 | |
LARGE | => TEXT SIZE=+1 | |
SMALL | * | => TEXT SIZE=-1 |
STRONG | * | => TEXT SIZE=+1 B |
TITLE | * | => CENTER SIZE=+1 |
FOOTER | * | => RIGHT I SIZE=-1 |
TITLE and FOOTER tags are automatically added
with the respective text-fields. You'll never use it explicitly, but
may redefine them.

pages about images in PPresenter.
Images can be scaled, reused, and played with.
