HTML for collection customization

When publishing to JSTOR Shared Collections, you can use HTML markup to enhance your projects. Currently, JSTOR Forum supports HTML within collection and Compilation descriptions.

Supported markup

Currently JSTOR Forum supports the following HTML elements:

Element Example
Bold text 
<b>Text</b>
Italic text 
<i>Text</i>
Underlined text 
<u>Text</u>
Paragraphs 
<p>Text</p>
Line breaks 
<br>
Unordered lists 
<ul>
 <li>Item 1</li>
 <li>Item 2</li>
 <li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
Hyperlinks 
<a href="https://www.example.org" target="_blank">Link Text</a>
Within an anchor element you can use the target attribute to determine where your hyperlinks will open. For example: You can include target="_blank" to open the link in a new tab or window.

Other style tags, such as <strong>, or additional attributes within tags, are not currently supported.

If you're using a supported tag and receive an error message please contact forumsupport@jstor.org with information about your project and the field you're trying to edit.
