HOW DO I CENTER TEXT INSIDE A PAGE ELEMENT

Hello fellow researchers,

I am trying to center the text inside each page, but I am not seeing any way to change the parameters in a 'page'.

Do I have to use a textbox for this instead?

I would prefer not to.


Thank you for any help!

Under Inquisit 5, this is not possible with <page> elements. It would be possible under Inquisit 6 by using inline HTML markup ( cf. https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/current/html/language/markup.htm ).

<page example_page>
<center>This will only work under Inquisit <b>6</b>.</center>
</page>

<expt>
/ preinstructions = (example_page)
</expt>


With Inquisit 5, you instead need to present HTML files as instruction pages per <htmlpage>.

You can format your HTML files in any way you need, including centering any text they display.
