The Welcome portlet, and its Manager counterpart, are predefined portlets available to all users and managers, as per standard configuration of the Home and My Team portals.
Digging down the System Administration guide, you can find out that these portlets can displays formatted text and images with a very rich syntax, similar to a wiki markup entry.
For example, you can use the exclamation mark to format headings:
!!!Welcome to Saba
!!This is your Learning Management System
!Home
Normal text here
Do you want to make your text bold or italic?
This is __very__ important. ''Please'' read it carefully.
Please note that you have to enter twice the single quote sign ' and not the double quote sign ".
What about bullet and numbered lists? C'est plus facile!
Please follow these steps in order:
# Log in with your username and password
# Go to ''My Learning'' page
# Launch the WBT by clicking on the __Launch__ button
Replace the # sign with the * to have a bullet list instead of a numbered list.
4 hyphens display a horizontal line the width of the portlet.

Last but not the least, if you are after embedding images and links to external web sites or documents, you can use the square bracket syntax:
Display the actual URL: [http://www.nasa.gov]
Display a label as a hyperlink: [NASA|http://www.nasa.gov]
Embed an image:
[{Image src='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Nasa-logo.gif' width='100' height='85' align='left' border='0' link='http://www.nasa.gov'}]
Please note that to enable hypertext links to function correctly, you must include http:// in the URL.
