Adding text or comments

After adding an element, you can use the Outline Editor to quickly add the contents of that element, such as the text you want to display in your document. For example, you might enter heading text in an h1 element. You can also add a comment for an element, which is any text you want to save but not display in your document when it is viewed in a browser window. Comments are useful for storing notes for editing documents at later dates--for example, if you intend to embed advanced features that require significant background information.

To add text or a comment:

1. In the Outline Editor, select an HTML element that is immediately above the location in the outline where you want to add the new text or comment.
2. Do one of the following:
• To add the text or a comment between the start and end tags for the selected element, expand the element and then click the New Text button  or the New Comment button  on the toolbar. Alternatively, you can choose Add Item Into > New Text or Add Item Into > New Comment from the context menu. A text box with default text or comment is added to the outline.
• To add the text or a comment after the end tag for the selected element or item, collapse the element and then click the New Text button  or the New Comment button  on the toolbar. Alternatively, you can choose Add Item After > New Text or Add Item After > New Comment from the context menu.

Note: You can add a comment anywhere in your document, even before or after the HTML element.

3. Enter your text or comment in the text box. If you temporarily stop entering text and then deselect the text box, you can resume your work by inserting the cursor in the text box.

Note: Comments appear dimmed in the Outline Editor to remind you that they won't appear in your document, but they are selectable and editable.
