 How to create a briefing.
-I haven't seen a lot of briefings in missions I've played online yet, which is probably out of lack of documentation, So I thought to discover it by myself how to make briefings in arma2.
+ArmA 2 does not use the briefing.html anymore for the Notes and Tasks sections. The briefing.html is only used for the Debriefing text which is dependent on the EndMission trigger of the mission.
-In Arma 2 BIS has decided to not use the briefing.html anymore for the Notes and Tasks sections. The briefing.html is only used for the Debriefing text which is dependent on the EndMission trigger of the mission.
 An Example briefing: (should actually be renamed to debriefing.html now BIS)

 These different endings are activated in triggers, but I'm sure everyone knows about them already (the end1 and end2 endings are in the type listbox of the trigger menu)

 If you added an empty marker near the objective, and you want a task-marker on there, you use this command. When you select this task as current task, the marker will light up. Make sure you use an existing marker here, cause otherwise it will place the task destination at [0,0].
+Marker example:
+<code cpp>
+<marker name='obj1'>Objective 1</marker>
+</code>
+And image example:
+<code cpp>
+<img image='path\mission\filename.paa'>
+</code>
+Color example:
+<code cpp>
+<font color='#FF0000'>red</font>
+<font color='#FFFF00'>yellow</font>
+<font color='#008000'>green</font>
+<font color='#0000FF'>blue</font>

 I suggest you put these commands in a file called briefing.sqf so you keep your other files clean, and then in your init.sqf write execVM "briefing.sqf"

   * All these commands are local arg, local effect. So execute them on every machine (throw them in the init.sqf).
