HTML for collection customization

When publishing to JSTOR, you can use HTML markup to enhance your collections.

With the exception of hyperlinks (see Hyperlinks in metadata [Tiers 2-3]), JSTOR currently supports HTML markup within collection descriptions and compilation descriptions only.

Supported markup

Currently JSTOR supports the following HTML elements within collection and compilation descriptions:

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.
