UT Tyler Web Publishing Standards

Typography and Fonts

Searchability of text on UT Tyler Web pages is of utmost importance. It is important to develop your page using machine-readable text (HTML text). Avoid uploading graphics/images as content for the page. Building machine-readable text pages will assure content is accessible and aid search engines in the effective indexing of the content of your pages

Layout

• The template font is pre-set. Bold font should be used sparingly.
• ALL caps and overuse of bold should be avoided along with exclamation marks.
• Use H1 and H2 headings only at the top of each page. 
• Avoid specifying fixed pixel sizes for your fonts.
• Keep all text left-aligned.
• Avoid erroneous code into the HTML editor.
• Remove extra spacing between paragraphs.
• Use text links to link back to other pages or outside links.

Font Colors

• The font colors used in the templates are preset and should never be overwritten.

Aligning Text

• Please avoid centered text.
• Do not use the "heading" options to style a paragraph.
• The default is left-aligned text.

NOTE: It is not acceptable to use style tags to work around the UT Tyler CSS (Style Sheet).
