HTML Fields
Rich text fields support HTML and may be edited using the default wysiwyg ("what you see is what you get") editor or the source view.
- A: Full-Screen View
- Edit your text in full-screen mode, much like a word processor. This enlarges the view to the full size of the browser window. You can return to the regular view using the same button.
- B: HTML Source View
- When in HTML Source View, you can edit HTML directly. Below you can see the source for the example above. Use the same button to return to the normal wysiwyg ("what you see is what you get") editor view.Note: The HTML editor only supports those elements that would go inside the body. Elements such as doctype, HTML, head, and body are stripped out or altered by the editor in such a way that they no longer function as they do in a full HTML document.
