How to Format a System MessageHow to Format a System Message

What

To get a bit of structure in your system message you can take advantage of a few HTML-tags for line breaks, simple formatting like bold and italic. 
Also, a link in a system message is currently a light gray color. If you want to change this to, for example, blue to make it more visible, you can do that as well.

How

• Go to Administrator > Messages and text resources > System Messages > New system message
• You'll get a pop up window where you can set the message.
• Insert <br/> as a line break.
• Insert <b> for bold
• insert <i> for italic
• When writing the message, use one of these HTML to ensure the blue text.
  • Example 1:

 <a style="color: blue" href="https://www.elsevier.com/research-intelligence" onclick="target='_blank';">This is a link</a> 

• Example 2:

<a style="color: blue" href="https://www.elsevier.com/research-intelligence">This is a link</a> 

Here is a full example:
