Customize the ADFS authentication page with buttons!

Q. How can I add custom HTML to the logon page of my ADFS server?

A. As part of the ADFS server customization it is possible to specify some sign-in page description text which is HTML. This can really be anything including a neat looking table showing some useful links like that shown below.

To do this first work out the HTML you want in a standard HTML editor then modify if to be one long string and if you have double quotes as you will need to double them up. Below is an example I use however this should all run on one line.
