Format Text For Blogger

Step one will be entering your text in Nevron Writer. You can type it in or paste it from another text editing program. If you choose the second option, make sure you right click inside the document, choose Paste special and select Plain text. This will transfer only your text without all formatting you may have done previously.

If you still don't have Nevron Writer, just download the software to your computer.

To format your title like the one in the picture here, select the text size and color, as well as the background color. For the background color, make sure you select the "Block Background Fill" option (bucket icon) and not the "Background Fill" with the "A" in the icon. The text background color serves as a highlither.

Even though Block Background Fill will give you many options such as Gradients, Advanced Gradients, Image and Hatch, bare in mind you will not be able to transfer them to HTML, so you are unfortunatelly limitted to the solid color selection.

With Nevron Writer you can also apply background color to a group of paragraphs, i.e. section. Just as with the paragraph, there are multiple options for filling style (gradients, advanced gradients, image, hatch, etc) but none of those can yet be transfered to an HTML file so we need to (for now) stick to the solid color options.

To apply a color, navigate to the Format --> Edit Section menu and go to the "Fill" tab, under "Appearance". There is a color wheel, as well as a palette of web safe colors and named colors. You could as well specify the HEX number of the color if you know it.

When you will be exporting text as HTML, you sure want to make it responsive. To achieve this, open the Paragraph Editor, go to the Size tab and set the Min Width to 100%. If you skip this step, your text will be formatted in a box with a specific size and will not be responsive once you save it as HTML.

When you are done with your formatting and satisfied with the results you can save the document as HTML. With Nevron Writer there are two ways to do this: (1) to save it as HTML (where the CSS code that applies all formatting is separate from the paragraphs of text) or (2) as HTML with inline style. Unless you are willing to enter the css in the css file in Blogger, we suggest you select the second option.

If you've decided to go with option #2, navigate to the File menu and then Options. Under the Formats tab, you'll see a section named "Web Pages". Select the option "Inline Css Styles" and click the Ok button to save this setting. Before saving a web page with the inline CSS you'll need to restart Nevron Writer, so make sure you've saved all the changes on your documents.

After you have saved your file you should open it (it will load your default browser). You will see your eddited text spread across the screen. If you resize the browser window you will notice the text adjusting inside (this is why we explained how to set the width to 100%). Right click inside the browser window and select View page source.

A new window with lines of text will pop open. You need to select and copy all the text between the opening and closing body tags.
