Styling Text

Visual and Text Editors

The “Visual Editor” allows you to see a representation of what your content will look like on your website. This is a general approximation, as the styles you have defined for the site will be applied to the content once it is published.

The “Text Editor” allows you to view the actual HTML markup defined by the visual editor. If you have knowledge of HTML or CSS, this allow you more flexibility for editing page layouts and content styling, but it is optional.
