Adding HTML

WebPlus also allows you to "view source" on a page—allowing extra HTML

code to be added to the page. Using this approach, you can include fragments

either copied from another Web page, or perhaps written by yourself.

You can also import formatted HTML text from a browser or email program

via the Clipboard (for example with a browser's Select All and Copy

commands), using WebPlus's File>Paste Special... command. Using the

Import Web Pages option, you can import one or more HTML pages into

your new or existing WebPlus site, with control over which additional

elements are imported.

Before you import your HTML code, WebPlus lets you position an HTML

Code Fragment window on your page. Since you won't be able to see the effect

of the HTML until you preview the site, be careful to place the window

correctly. You'll definitely want to check your Web page in a browser! If

there's a problem, double-check the code you entered and its position on the

WebPlus page (resizing if necessary). If you have some grasp of HTML,

examine the page source in a text editor such as Notepad or use your

browser's "View Source" mode.

To add an HTML code fragment to a page:

1. Click the

Insert HTML Code button on the Web Objects toolbar.

Choose Web Object... from the Insert menu and select HTML... from the

submenu.

2. Click on the page or pasteboard to create a new HTML Code Fragment

window at a default size or drag to create a sized window.

3. In the dialog, use the Paste to Head or Paste to Body button to insert the

clipboard text into the header of the file or into its body.

Use the scrollable code window. Enter one or more HTML code

fragments into the appropriate field.
