[Pro] Hyperlinks: changing their size

Regarding the same hyperlinks I’ve needed help with today, they are set inline in html text at a 13 px size. My client says the all caps hyperlinks look a little too big, she wants them made smaller, but still in all caps.

Is it possible to change the size of just the hyperlink text (which was made by Actions>link to PDF) while it is still
a part of the main html paragraph? I’m thinking that all the text and links are governed by the global size command of 13 px for text size, but am I wrong on that?

Would I need to keep the main text in a separate html text container, then make a separate html container to make the hyperlinks to have them a different size?

Thanks,

Chick

Make sure that there is a space before and one after the Link to PDF action and with all selected (space-action-space) change the text size in the inspector.

Thats all

Hi David,

I think I need some clarity.

This isn’t working. There’s a hard return at the end of the top
paragraph. A hard return before the inserted Action and a hard return
after the Action, this is repeated for all the hyperlinks, I’ve added
the “space before” and “space after” each hard return. But even
when I select the text for the PDF Action and switch the size to a
smaller size, it still defaults back to the same size as the main
paragraph. I’t seems to be globally governed when the content is
within the same html container frame.

That’s why I’m thinking maybe these all should be separated by
separate html text containers.

Thanks,

Chick

What he means is literally to type a space character both before and
after the actual inserted action item object. This will ensure that
the stuff inserted by the action item is wrapped in the formatting
codes in the final output.

However, if you’d like to change all the hyperlink text on the page
you could make a new ‘tag’ style that affects all the ‘a’ tag
contents… in other words, all the HTML text that is set as a link.

With the Stles palette, make a new style, type “a” (without the
quotes) in the Tag field, delete what’s in the Name field, and set
the size to be 12px - one down from your regular HTML text size.

That’s it. Now the text that’s wrapped in the

<a href="whatever"> .. </a>

tag will be rendered at that size, while the rest of the text won’t
be. You don’t need to apply this to anything as it will automatically
affect the linked text.

When I mean a space before I mean get a flashing cursor before the action item and hit the spacebar to insert a space character - same after. You may have to do the one after first and the use your left arrow key to move the cursor before the action.
