Embed the HTML into the text
by opening text with!!< And closing it with >!! To make
a line break command, between those quotes insert <br>.
For example, enter...

heading line>!!
The browser will put...
This is the first heading line
this is the second heading line

How
can I insert my own custom navigation buttons that rollover
when a customer moves their mouse over them?
To insert your own custom navigation buttons, with image rollovers,
you can recycle the code from any of the existing navigation
image layouts.
1. Go to 'Design | Library | Layouts'.
2. Place the 'Navigation Icons' group and click on any layout
in the list whose name ends in 'Image Navigation Button'.
3. Right-click on this layout and choose 'New Layout'. Call
your new layout whatever you want.
4. Customize the code as you see fit.
Image navigation button layouts have the following format:
<a href=[TEXT] onmouseover="SwapImage('image_name','rollover_image.gif')"
onmouseout="RestoreImage()"><img src="normal_image.gif"
alt="Some alternative text" border="0" name="image_name"
/></a>
Substitute the placeholder values in there with real relevant
values for you.
· normal_image.gif - the normal button graphic
· rollover_image.gif - the highlighted button graphic
· image_name - a name for the image.
Each button needs to have a rare name. |
