How do I create true styled web text from Photoshop text layers?

---

SiteGrinder has the amazing ability to convert Photoshop type layers into real, styled, searchable, selectable text on a web page. SiteGrinder can reproduce most character and paragraph styles using a web technology known as "CSS Text."

SiteGrinder can place a type layer on the final web page as text or as a graphic, so you must indicate to SiteGrinder which you prefer.

To specify that a type layer should appear as text you can do one of two things:

1. In Photoshop select the text layer and set the anti-aliasing to "None" using the Photoshop character attributes window. This is convenient because you can tell output settings at a glance by seeing which layers are anti-aliased and which aren't in the document.

2. You can also add the "-text" hint to the end of the type layer's name to force it to be text on the web page no matter what the anti-aliasing is set to.

For example a layer named "location" should be renamed "location-text".

It's just that easy!
