- HTML - You can enter either plain text or HTML-formatted text in any text boz on a class or section website. If you enter plain text, Stelar adds minimal HTML formatting to display it on a class/section website page. For more advanced HTML fomatting, either cut and paste code from an HTML editor, or type HTML text in the text box. (Note: Stellar automatically converts URLs that begin with * http://, https://, ftp:// or news:// *
to live links. URLs enclosed in punctuation marks or brackets are not converted.

- Compound Documents - You can upload documents that contain more than a single file, such as an HTML page and its embedded web of pages. These files are referred to as compound documents. When adding such a document, first create a ZIP or JAR file that contains all related files in a hierarchy with a single top page, such as INDEX.HTML, in the hierarchy. The compressed file can include subdirectories. Because all pages in the compressed file are referenced relative to the top page, links to other pages should be relative links. That is, they should not have absolute URLs that include domain and web server names, but rather path names that show where they are in the hierarchy of pages under the top page, such as the following URL: contentdir/content_a.htm Any links to files outside the compressed file should be absolute links, as in the following URL: http://web.mit.edu/ In order to add a compound document, first configure the class website to unpack compound documents. You do this by checking the Enable Unpacking Of ZIP Or JAR Files option on the Website Settings page. Your users can then click the title link of the document and see the top page in the browser, and all links work as they should within the document. If you do not configure the class website to handle compound documents, unpacking the file will be left to the browser when a user clicks the title link.
