HTML Editor VS Simple Text

Use the HTML Editor for all Content

The HTML Editor is the best option for content input. The Simple Text option is to be used for programming code.

When to Use Simple Text?

The only time to use Simple Text is when you need to embed code. Otherwise, use the HTML Editor (Advanced) option.

Create Your Content Outside of SiteBuilder

This is the recipe for Content Input Success:

Create content in a document separate from your SiteBuilder service
Do not format content. Use either the "Paste from Word or Paste Text" icon to copy/paste your content into your SiteBuilder article.
Now format your content within the HTML editor

It is best to wait to format content and use the HTML editor because then you retain control of how your content appears across multiple Internet browser formats. If you format in advance and copy that formatting into the HTML editor, it might look fine on the Internet browser you use, like Explorer, but it may look strange on Chrome, Firefox, etc.

Main Formating Options

	Table icons
	Linking icons
	Document Library icon
	Image Library icon

Internet Connection Can Cause Lost Work!

We can not control your Internet connection.

If your connection is temporarily lost for a moment, you will not be able to save the work done within the HTML editor.

For this reason, save often and copy/paste large chunks of work.

Design Tip

We recommend that you do not change your default font.

By keeping default font throughout your website you ensure a professional looking site.

If you do not like your font type, size or color, call us and we'll change it globally - as a function of your design.
