== Overview ==
bxp software (bxp) has a few areas throughout the system where rich text areas appear. A rich text area can be found in Communications Centre, eCourse Management and the Information Centre modules. Rich text areas are used to turn normal text areas into a neat Microsoft Office style editor that allows a user to create custom HTML without any coding knowledge. This can be useful when creating emails or newsletters among other things. Rich text areas can make normal text and images look more visually attractive (bold, italics, fonts, alignment etc.). In bxp we need a special tool to create HTML code, e.g. a A HTML editing tool which is built into bxp using the TinyMCE plugin. This plugin converts a HTML text area into an advanced rich text area.
If you prefer to write your own rich text html using your favourite HTML editing tools (Dreamweaver, Notepad++, etc.), you can easily drop your code into the editor by going to Tools >> Source Code, in the editor. Alternately the tool below creates the HTML for you.

An image description is not required but can be useful , as sometimes images get moved on the web so they name will take its place should it be removed.
