Get to Know the WYSIWYG

You're probably familiar with other "What You See Is What You Get" text editors like this in software such as Microsoft Word. Our WYSIWYG (pronounced 'wizzy-wig') has a streamlined toolbar which allows you to add text and HTML code to various modules throughout Spark. This overview will help you G2K (get to know) the tools available.

Spark Location: Any Page, Event, Business listing, or Form which has a WYSIWYG tool bar.

Here are the different options/tools in the WYSIWYG.

Undo / Redo buttons

HTML button - this is commonly used for including embed codes from other sites, such as Google Maps or Google Calendar. It's also used for adding page-specific marketing/tracking pixels, or custom stylesheets. Clicking the button changes the text screen to black, which is where you can paste in your HTML.

 Text styling buttons - formatting, bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough. Learn more about the formatting tool (backwards P).

List buttons - bullets or numbers

Outdent / Indent buttons

Table button - This button is no longer included in the toolbar.
Here's how you can add a table using the HTML tool.

Link button - add a link or edit a link

Alignment button - left, center, right or fully justified

Rule button - adds a full-width rule line as a content separator

Font styling - size, color, background color

Paste buttons - to avoid issues caused by Word, we recommend using the Plain option and then formatting the text with the WYSIWYG
