== Overview ==
bxp software (bxp) has a few areas throughout the system where rich text areas appear. The rich text area can be found in Communication 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 of their own without any coding knowledge. This can be useful when creating emails or newsletters among other things. Rich text areas can make things normal text and images look more visually attractive (bold, italics, fonts, alignment etc.) . In order to do this on a web our system it needs we need 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 by going to Tools >> Source Code in the editor. Alternately the tool below creates the HTML for you.
