The WAG-MOD HTML editor is a powerful tool. While it looks very much like a "mini-word processor", and in many ways functions like a word processor, it is in actuality a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) editor.
It is found in many of the management pages of your Webs-a-gogo WAG-MOD such as Press Article Add/Edit and Product Item Add/Edit and more.
Don't let the big phrases scare you. It is quite simple to use and this HELP briefly explains some of it's more common functions. You will also find links to additional Helps which provide more detailed explanation for other functions of the HTML Editor.
