Tags for Vislet

VISLETS SHOULD NO LONGER BE USED AS THEY ARE NOT ACCESSIBILITY FRIENDLY.

Instead, use "Embed" tags (see below) if possible. Otherwise use a static image and include a link to the web page that contains the respective tool.

Tags for inserting image with video

Example: Beginners:population

Tags for embedding infographics

Use the following tags:

For the URL, use the "Embed this visualisation" icon from the source infographic

Example:

Asylum quarterly report

Tags for inserting interactive maps

All interactive Maps for SE should be sent to ESTAT WEB CONTENT for upload so that a link can be created in the SE cache. Please indicate the topic (not just map title). Make sure the map is exported as html in px and not in pt.

Please note that, at the request of the internet team, a separate cache link should be made for maps to be used in news items and SE articles (i.e. the link for a map that has been created for a news item should not be used in SE, a new link should be requested; this is so that the internet team can keep their inventory correct).

Make sure that the filename of the map is in line with DG COMM rules, i.e. no “and” in the URL, use hyphens instead spaces.

Here the rules DG COMM URL rules

Rules

According to Europa domain and subdomain rules, websites owned by DGs and executive agencies must be hosted on the europa.eu domain.

As part of the Europa.eu domain, the websites’ URLs must follow these rules:

URLs must always be lower case (to avoid incompatibility between Unix and Windows, respectively case-sensitive and case-insensitive)
URLs must always be in English, even when they contain a page in another language (see also Language indicator)
multiple words contained in a URL must be separated by a dash/hyphen (-), though the underscore (_) is also accepted
URLs must not contain chained multiple words (e. g. europeancommission is wrong, european-commission is correct)
URLs must not contain acronyms, as they are not understood by a broader audience. Exceptions can only be granted for existing URLs already approved in the past.

If in the StatExp cache:

<interactivemap width="70%" src="social/use-of-the-internet-for-purchasing-cultural-goods-and-services.html"|alt= add alternative text.></interactivemap>
To include title and source data:
:::Electrified railway lines, 2023 (% of total length of railway lines)<br>''Source:'' Eurostat ([https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/rail_if_line_tr/default/table?lang=en rail_if_line_tr])

If not in StatExp cache (although this should not be the case; see above explanation):

<interactivemap width="70%" override="true" src="https://ejel93y1qel9-s-a2157.bj.tsgdht.cn/eurostat/cache/news/maps/motorway-density-2020.html"></interactivemap> Examples:

Dynamic chart - tips for preparing excel files

Do not use an apostrophe in the excel file name; also applies for & and , .
Do not use an apostrophe in the title of the chart; also applies for &.
If you use a tab separator (eg blank space for thousands), it can lead to data not being included in the graph.
After updating/re-uploading a dynamic chart - if values do not change accordingly (both when logged in and logged out), try using the "clear cache" option.

Dynamic chart - ascending order

Dynamic charts are automatically sorted in descending order.

To create a dynamic chart in ascending order, insert the parameters in the excel file:

Heading: Parameters

Data column: sortOrder

Values column: asc

Example:
Article - Agri-environmental indicator - consumption of pesticides
Excel file - File:Agri-environmental indicator - consumption of pesticides.xlsx

Tags for inserting coloured text boxes

To centre boxes:
<div class="alert alert-th1" style="width:80%;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"> Text </div> Theme number should be changed accordingly

Example: Archive:Intra-EU - most traded goods

TestBox

You can directly edit Statexp:Top100 page

Tweets and subscript

If the closing tweet tag </tweet> is not on the same line as the sentence it distorts the subscript (makes it superscript).

Tags for alternative text

For each image in an article, alternative text should be added after the image description, preceded by |alt=
It should be a short description to include: type of chart, subject of chart, reference period and what the chart shows. Examples of alternative text tags

When adding alternative text to dynamic graphs, use codes as follows:

<multibarchart theme="7" file="Modal split of freight transport_2011-2021.xlsx">|alt= Dynamic interactive vertical bar chart showing the modal split of freight transport in the EU in percentages based on tonne-kilometres.

Adding category page

[[:Category:Employment|All articles on employment]]

Example: Actual and usual hours of work in section "Direct access to " under "Other articles".

Adding copyright tags

Upload image and in the uploaded picture page, edit and insert the following:

For copyright symbol use the symbol for "ampersand" then write "copy" then symbol for "semi-colon" (no spaces) or copy/paste.

The copyright notice will only appear underneath the image. However, it will be visible over the image in the revamped SE main page.

Example: Pcalapre AdobeStock 141235223 RV.jpg
