HTML Editing Area Version 2

1 Overview

bxp software (bxp) has a few areas throughout where rich text can make things look more visually attractive (bold, italics, fonts, etc.) In order to do this on a web system it needs a special tool to create HTML code. bxp has a HTML editing tool built into it using the TinyMCE plugin which converts a HTML text area into a special rich text area.

If you prefer to write your own rich text html using your favourite HTML editing tools (Dreamweaver, Notepad++, etc), then you can easily drop your code in instead. Alternately the tool below creates the HTML for you.

2 Use

The editor has various types of tools that allow the user to create, edit and preview the created HTML content.

There are three rows of options that will allow you to create nice valid HTML without knowing code.
