How to Use the HTML Editor

A complete step-by-step guide to creating, formatting, and exporting your HTML content — no coding required.

Step-by-Step Guide

From opening the editor to copying your finished HTML code

1

Open the Editor

Navigate to the home page. The WYSIWYG editor loads automatically — no account, no download, and no installation required. You will see a toolbar at the top and an editing area below it.

Tip

The editor works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. For the best experience, use an up-to-date browser.

2

Type Your Content

Click inside the white editing area and begin typing your content just as you would in a word processor like Microsoft Word or Google Docs. You can type text, paste content from another source, or start from a template.

  • Press Enter for a new paragraph
  • Press Shift + Enter for a line break without a new paragraph
  • Use Ctrl + V to paste copied text
Tip — Pasting from Word

If pasting from Microsoft Word, use the "Paste from Word" toolbar button to strip unwanted Microsoft-specific formatting and produce clean HTML.

3

Format Your Text

Select any text and use the toolbar buttons to apply formatting. The toolbar groups buttons logically so formatting controls are easy to find.

  • Highlight text, then click B for bold, I for italic, U for underline
  • Use the Font Name and Font Size dropdowns to change the typeface and size
  • Use the A▼ color button to set text or background color
  • Use the alignment buttons to set left, center, right, or justified alignment
  • Use Format dropdown to apply heading levels (H1–H6) or paragraph style
4

Insert Links

To add a hyperlink, select the text you want to turn into a link, then click the Insert/Edit Link button (chain icon) in the toolbar. A dialog will open.

  • Enter the full URL (e.g., https://www.example.com)
  • Set the Target to "_blank" to open in a new tab
  • Optionally add a Title (tooltip text)
  • Click OK to insert the link
5

Insert Images

Click the Insert/Edit Image button (picture icon) to open the image dialog. You can insert an image by providing its URL.

  • Paste the full image URL into the URL field
  • Add descriptive Alt Text for accessibility and SEO
  • Set width, height, border, and alignment as needed
  • Click OK to place the image in the editor
Tip

Images must be hosted online. The editor embeds images by reference URL — it does not upload or store images itself.

6

Insert Lists and Tables

Use the list and table buttons in the toolbar to add structured content.

  • Click the Unordered List button to create a bullet list; click Ordered List for a numbered list
  • Click the Insert Table button to open the table wizard — specify rows and columns
  • Right-click inside any table cell for options to insert/delete rows and columns, merge cells, and set cell properties
7

Use Templates (Optional)

To start from a pre-built layout, click the Templates button in the toolbar. A dialog shows the available templates. Click a template to load it into the editor as your starting content.

  • Image and Title — a header image with a headline and body text
  • Two-Column Layout — side-by-side text columns
  • Text and Table — introductory text followed by a data table
Note

Applying a template will replace your current content. Apply templates at the start of a new document.

8

Copy Your HTML Code

When you are satisfied with your content, click the Source button in the toolbar (it looks like </>). The editor will switch to source view, showing the raw HTML code that represents your content.

  • Use Ctrl + A to select all the HTML code
  • Use Ctrl + C to copy it
  • Paste the code wherever you need it — your CMS, shopping cart, newsletter tool, or email client
You're done!

The HTML you copied is clean, standards-compliant code ready to use anywhere that accepts HTML input.
