Instructions
Select a format: The page setup has a set of table formats across the top. Select a layout.-or- Create the border you want at the pretty borders site or select one from the template buttons above. Click the "Clear page" button ![]() Add your Text: Type or Paste your text. Depending on your browser, you may be able to use keyboard shortcuts, right-click menu, or the edit menu at the top of the browser to paste code or text into the page.
Create Headings: Highlight your titles and select your Heading styles from the dropdown list before adding any other colors or styles. Using styles from the list will assure that the headings have good gaps between the heading and text. For inline headings, apply a font size from another dropdown list to normal text instead of using the heading options. Font Style: Highlight your entire page in the window (right-click inside the editing window to "select All"). Then choose your font style from the dropdown list.
The popup rainbow palette also includes a dropdown list of named colors and a sidebar changes the darkness of a color. Text colors from the popup rainbow palette usually need to be darkened for use on a light background and lightened for use on on a dark background.
To indent and tab text to make small tables and columns, use the Tabbed Text option on the Headings list. Do not use that option for paragraphs, as the page will stretch too wide in some browsers. Be sure to use the popup preview window to make sure the results are as you expected.
Send to Practice Writer: Practice Writer is an online HTML practice board where you can preview code and store it online for others to see. Use this option to send your code to www.PracticeWriter.com where you can post it and pick up the link to share with others. Adding your own template code: Click the "Clear page" button and then flip to the "Code View" screen to paste the template code. Flip back to the "Editor" screen and add your description. Caveats: the editor, by nature, will kill headers and body tags for eBay use, and therefore does not support full webpage editing. Problems? There are still many bugs to iron out. If a feature fails to perform, the code may not have successfully loaded on the first pass. Sometimes holding down the shift-key while refreshing the page will get past obstacles (but may also clear the screen of any editing data). Avoid using the back button to return to the editor from another page. The page will not fully load. If this happens, you will need to hold down the shift-key and perform a full page refresh. Note: Do not test your dynamic (scripted) page content in the editor, as you will lose your editing data if scripts modify the page content or the page opens to a new location. Instead, test your content from the popup Preview window. The different browsers have different idiosyncracies and perform differently depending on where the cursor is located on the page. Should you encounter confusing results, it may simply be cursor placement. |
Designer's CornerDesigners: Do you want to send your templates directly to this editor so your customers can edit them? Choose how you want to present the template to the user and paste one of these options into your page:
To share multiple template links on your source page, replace toEditor with toEditor1, toEditor2, etc, in each set that is added to the page, so that each set is uniquely named. These codes won't work in emails, so you must have access to a hosting site, or can create a page on the PracticeWriter, to transfer the template to the editor. The PracticeWriter will allow you to change your page content as long as you preserve your cookies. Or you can set up a username there to manage (edit/delete) your posted codes. |
