The HTML-Editor
Updated
by Ingo
With the HTML editor it is possible to edit texts of e-mails and websites individually. Similar to Word, you can design your texts with the help of various function buttons.
Access to the HTML editor in MATE
By default, you can access the HTML editor for each text element of your web page or email. Every setting that you make there is automatically implemented in the respective module. With the preview function you can test every change immediately.

Functions and elements of the HTML editor
The following options are available to you:
Font | Text | Further Functions |

If you regularly insert text into the HTML editor of MATE, colors and fonts, images and tables are not copied. Other settings (italic, bold, underlined or linking) remain unchanged.
If you choose to insert plain text, formatting such as links, bold, italics and underlined are not copied. Only plain text with line breaks is used.
Source Code and Placeholder (Token)
Based on the fact that most of the functions should already be familiar to you from other programs (e.g. Word), we will only go into detail about the function "source code" and placeholders (tokens).
Source Code
With the button Source Code you can switch the editor to HTML with one click. You will see all information in HTML format and can make changes (content and design) as well as complete the text content via HTML.

Placeholder (Token)
Using the placeholder, certain event or guest information can be automatically integrated into the text. Each placeholder is linked to a corresponding content, such as the event name, the first or last name or attributes created in the event, such as the company. By inserting these placeholders, the associated information is recognised by the system and dynamically replaced with the corresponding content in your email or website.
Example of the placeholder "event name
