Using the HTML editor

The embedded HTML editor allows you to enter and edit the HTML content in Alloy Navigator records.

  • Design - for editing the content using a WYSIWYG editor that shows the content the way the intended audience sees it.

  • HTML Code - for editing the HTML code directly.

You can switch between the modes by clicking the Mode button on the HTML editor toolbar. This button displays the name of current mode.
