Edit Announcement

Note:

Oracle WebCenter Portal has deprecated the support for Jive features (announcements and discussions). If you have upgraded from a prior release to Release 12c (12.2.1.4.0), Jive features remain available in your upgraded instance but Oracle support is not provided for these features. In the next release, Jive features will not be available even in the upgraded instances

The Edit Announcement dialog enables you to revise announcement content, including changing the date the announcement expires. Use Rich Text Editor controls to add links and styling information.

Rich Text Editor Controls

The Rich Text Editor (RTE) provides controls for creating, styling, and editing HTML text.

In addition to the tools that integrate the RTE, the RTE is available as a standalone HTML editor, which you can add to a page. Look for the Text component in the resource catalog.

Within the RTE, if there are tags or styles that are not editable in a particular browser they are transformed into something that the specific browser can edit. Also, the RTE ignores the following types of tags for security reasons or because they are irrelevant or redundant within the RTE context:

Script tags
Form elements, such as input, select, textarea, and form
Frame/frameset
Document tags, such as html, head, body, meta, and title
Unknown tags, for example, <foo></foo>

The following table illustrates and describes the controls you will find in the RTE.
