WYSIWYG Editor

When we discussed the creation of a new template earlier, we mentioned that as well as
the Drag and Drop editor, there is a second editor available. This is called the WYSIWYG
(What You See Is What You Get) editor.

NOTE: The WYSIWYG editor is available on the Premier Tier and above.

To use this editor, begin creating a new Marketing template as demonstrated previously,
but make sure to choose WYSIWYG as the editor.

You will notice that the bottom field where you would normally choose a template is set to
One Column. The provided templates are used with the Drag and Drop editor so are not
available here.

The primary purpose of the WYSIWYG editor is to allow those with HTML editing
experience to have free reign in their template creation. As we have seen, HTML blocks
are available in the Drag and Drop editor, but the WYSIWYG editor allows a person to build
their entire template using their HTML skills.

To swap to the HTML view, click the HTML button near the bottom of the editor.
