How do I using the HTML Editor?
If you do not know HTML , you can use the HTML Editor to format the body text of your articles.

The HTML Editor is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. It functions similarly to word processors. Using the buttons at the top of the HTML Editor, you can apply formatting to the body text of your articles. You can also insert tables, images, hyperlinks, and lists into the body of your articles.
