Using the HTML editor

Updated in 2021

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

You can edit the content in one of two modes:

Design: The Design mode is for editing the content using a WYSIWYG editor that shows the content the way the intended audience sees it.
HTML Code: The Source mode is for editing the HTML code directly.

If the HTML Code mode is available, you can switch between the modes by clicking the Source button on the HTML editor toolbar.
