If you rename an HTML snippet that was inserted into a section as shared content, you need to
update the reference to the snippet manually; see "Renaming a snippet" on page286.
Translating a snippet
Snippets in a multilingual template get translated at the moment they are inserted in the output,
if the text is tagged for translation. For more information see "Translating templates" on
page463 and "Tagging text in snippets" on page467.
HTML snippets
HTML snippets can contain any contents that a section can have, such as text, images, variable
data, dynamic tables, etc. Just like other types of snippets, HTML snippets are stored in the
Snippets folder on the Resources pane, but their file name ends in .html.
This topic contains information that only applies to HTML snippets. If you want to know how to
add an existing (remote) snippet to the resources, or how to create an empty HTML snippet,
please see "Snippets" on page281.
Tip
It is possible to open and edit any external HTML file in the Designer: select File > Open,
select All files (*.*) as the file type and then select an HTML file.
Using content to create an HTML snippet
To turn a part of a letter or email into an HTML snippet for reuse in the content of a template:
1. Open the section and select the part or parts that should be saved to a snippet.
2. Right-click the selection, point to Snippet and click Create to copy the selected part to a
new snippet, or Create Shared Content to create the new snippet and replace the
selected part with a reference to the new snippet.
3. Give the snippet a name.
