How to Use the HTML Editor

The HTML Editor is a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor that allows users to quickly create or edit formatted online content without knowledge of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).

The HTML Editor is available wherever a text area is found within ANGEL. For example, to access the Editor click the Files hyperlink in the Toolbox, click the Add Content hyperlink (located in the toolbar), click the Create a File hyperlink or icon, and click the HTML Editor hyperlink (located under the File Contents text area).

Note: The HTML Editor supports Windows and Macintosh operating systems using Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 7.1, and Mozilla 1.4. The HTML Editor hyperlink does not display on unsupported browsers.

When you have finished editing your document using the Editor, click the Accept Changes button to return to the ANGEL editor page. Notice the Editor has placed HTML code in the content text area.

With the HTML Editor, you can perform common word processing tasks including the following:
