Create a new markup

We can add a new markup type to the list of supported markups.

1. From Manage Markups, click Add new markup. The Markup fields are displayed for us to enter the properties of the new markup.

2. Fill in the following fields:

   1. Markup name Required. Indicate the name of the markup. Directories of this name also have to be created to support the aggregation of the portal for clients that support this markup. For example, to add the markup MathML, the following directories have to be created:

      • theme_web_module_root_path/MathML

      • theme_web_module_root_path/themes/MathML

      • theme_web_module_root_path/skins/MathML

      • theme_web_module_root_path/screens/MathML

      For this reason, avoid characters in the markup name that might cause conflicts in file or path names, such as / , \ , . , or & . The markup name also acts as default title for those languages where no locale-specific title has been set.

   2. MIME type Required. Enter the MIME type associated with this markup.

   3. Default character set Optional. Indicate the character encoding to be used for this markup unless not specified in the locale-specific settings. If we leave this field empty, UTF-8 is used as the default character set.

3. To save the changes click OK. To exit without saving the changes, click Cancel.

   The markup is not supported by the portal until it is activated by selecting the language and clicking the Activate/Deactivate selected markup icon.
