Adding a snippet
Before a snippet can be added to the content, the resource files that are related to the snippet,
such as image files and CSS files, have to be imported into the template file. Drag and drop the
files to the corresponding folders (Images and Stylesheets, respectively) on the Resources
pane. If you want to use external images, see "Images" on page 279.
Drag the snippet itself to the Snippets folder on the Resources pane, or create a new snippet
from an existing piece of content in the template (see "Creating a snippet" below).
Tip
To export a snippet from your template, drag or copy/paste it out of the Snippets folder to a folder
on the local hard drive.
To add the snippet to the content of a section, drag the snippet from the Snippets folder on the
Resources pane to the desired location in a section.
It is also possible, and often useful, to insert a snippet or part of it, using a script. See "Loading
a snippet via a script" on page 386.
Creating a snippet
To turn a parts of a letter, email or web page into a snippet for reuse in the content of a
template:
1. Select the part that should be saved in a snippet.
2.
Right-click the selection, point to Snippet and click Create.
3.
Right-click the new snippet on the Resources pane in the Snippets folder and rename it.
JSON Snippets
JSON Snippets are snippets that contain pieces of JSON data instead of HTML. Just like HTML
snippets, JSON snippets are stored in the Snippets folder on the Resources pane, but their
file names should end in '.json'.
JSON Snippets cannot be inserted into the content directly, but they can be accessed via a
script using the function loadjson():
