Adding text or comments in the Outline Editor
After adding an element, you can use the Outline Editor to quickly add the contents of that element, such as the text
you want to display in your document. For example, you might enter heading text in an h1 element. You can also add
a comment for an element, which is any text you want to save but not display in your document when it is viewed in
a browser window. Comments are useful for storing notes for editing documents at later dates—for example, if you
intend to embed advanced features that require significant background information.

want to add the new text or comment.

Note: You can add a comment anywhere in your document, even before or after the HTML element.

you can resume your work by inserting the cursor in the text box.
