Using an HTML element

You use an HTML element to store a section of HTML. To create an HTML element, you can either add an HTML element to an authoring template, site area, or content item, or create an HTML component.

  • Creating an HTML component
    You create an HTML component when you want to reuse a section of HTML in multiple places in your website. A copyright notice is an example of the HTML you might store in an HTML component.
  • Adding an HTML element to an item
    You add an HTML element to a site area or content item when you want a section of HTML to be used for a specific site area or content item.
  • Adding an HTML element to a template
    You add an HTML element to an authoring template when you want the HTML element to be used by a set of items that use the same authoring template.
