Most elements are suitable for use in all contexts. There are a few exceptions, however. Forms
and Form elements can be used on web pages only, whereas Whitespace elements and Page
numbers can only be used in a Print context. Positioned boxes are well suited for Print
sections, but are to be avoided in the Email and Web context.
Whether it is best to use a Table or Box to position text, images and other elements, depends
on the context in which they are used; see "How to position elements" on page502 for more
information.
Editing HTML
When you add elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file.
To see this, toggle to the Design tab in the workspace. Click anywhere in the content. Take a
look at the breadcrumbs at the top of the workspace. The breadcrumbs show the HTML tag of
the clicked element, as well as the HTML tags of other elements to which the clicked element
belongs. The clicked element is at the end of the line.
To edit the HTMLtext directly:
l In the workspace, toggle to the Source tab.
On this tab you can view and edit the content of the template in the form of plain text with HTML
tags (note the angle brackets: <>). You may add and edit the text and the HTML tags, classes,
ID’s and other attributes.
To learn more about HTML, see for example https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Introduction and http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp.
Many video courses and hands-on courses about HTML (and CSS) are offered on the Internet
as well, some for free. Go, for example, to www.codeschool.com or www.codeacademy.com
and look for HTML (and CSS) courses.
