WebCT 4.1 does have an HTML editor and a spell checker. However, it is available in the Mail area only.
When you are adding grading comments and hit the Enter key to start a new line, everything looks good. When the student reads the comment, the new line is not there and all the words merge together.
The above list of HTML tags is useful in those areas of WebCT not allowing use of the HTML editor. To end the effect of the tag, add an ending tag after the last character to use it. For example, to end bolding, add the end bold tag of </b>. The end tag is always the same as the start tag preceeded with the slash.
Assignments need the tags, as do sentances used in upper or lower text blocks, titles on icons, banner wording, and content created in the content manager (even though it too has an HTML editor a little different than the one found in Mail)
