Add content with the HTML editor

Updated 27 Jul 2022

The HTML content editor is used throughout the course to create and edit text, images, hyperlinks, and HTML. Some text boxes are followed by an "edit" link. You can click this link to format your text in the content editor.

  1. Enter text in the content editor.
  2. Select the toolbar buttons to format the text, insert images, hyperlinks, HTML code, tables, and more.

 

  • When copying and pasting from Microsoft Word documents, you must also use the Clean HTML Code button () to remove tags inserted by Microsoft Word. You may also need to reformat text you paste from other text editors, such as Notepad. 
  • If you need to include the less than symbol (<) in a text box or in the HTML editor you should follow the symbol (or HTML code, &lt;) with a blank space. This ensures any characters you enter after the symbol can be viewed properly. This is especially true if the symbol is followed by letters (one < three) rather than numbers (1 < 3).
