You can use these elements to construct your site structure as you wish. The icon next to the ID displays type and status. A coloured icon means visible, while a grey icon means not visible. See also Visibility, above.The right side of the page shows the current structure element in a page preview. Some of the elements in the content area are highlighted by a dashed border, and can be edited directly. These include the areas used to upload images, as in the image gallery, or text fields for names and descriptions. For more information on uploading images, see Uploading images, above. Click a text element to activate and edit it. In the page preview, there are two types of editable text field:
- Text fields: In these fields you can use all available functions to edit text. When the field is activated, the multifunction bar changes and provides functions for text editing. These functions correspond to the functions of the WYSIWYG editor. See WYSIWYG editor, above and also Working with text fields, above. Such fields are product descriptions, or the terms and conditions text.
- Text-only fields: In these fields, you can only enter plain text, with no option for formatting. These comprise product names or category names, for example.
A particular feature here in comparison with the WYSIWYG editor, is that you can enter HTML code in the text fields. To do so, click theEdit HTML icon in the multifunction bar. A new window opens containing the text. Insert your HTML code here. Save your entries by clicking Apply. The page preview shows the text with the formatting from the HTML code applied.
