How do I use the custom HTML editor?

A rich HTML editor is provided to edit HTML content of your custom campaigns without needing to know the details of HTML code. To keep things simple, only a few basic options are available to manipulate content. These options include bold, italic, strikethrough, font color, justification, lists, paragraph style, font size, insert link, insert anchor, insert image, insert file, undo, redo and spell check.

To add your custom html content go to Templates section in Newsberry, and click the Create new template button. After selecting a name for your template and clicking Next step button, editor will be loaded. You can use Visual Editor to edit your template if you are not familiar with html, or you can switch to HTML if you want to edit html code directly.

If you would like to add text version of your html template too, click Text at top, and you will be in the mode to add text version. You can generate text version based on your html content. Please note that the generated content could vary compared to the html content and you would probably need to adjust it.

The best way to use this editor is either starting from scratch with simple formatted text and images or editing an existing HTML template. We do not recommend using this editor for designing complex HTML emails, since the features are limited. We've also noticed some problems in Safari, as well as Internet Explorer, when security settings are set too high. Please contact us if you experience problems.
