1 What is an HTML block?

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, a programming language used for writing web pages. This language is found in several programmes. It is possible to copy the HTML code of an external programme or an HTML editor into Tribe CRM. This way, you have copied the format known to you in Tribe CRM in one go and it can be applied in all templates.

2 How do I add an HTML block?

Add a column block by clicking + in the template layout and choosing HTML in the Common blocks section.

HTML code can be copied from various programmes. In our example, we used an HTML editor where on the left side we put the text (1), images and formatting. The right-hand side shows the HTML code that can be copied (2). In our example, this HTML code is copied.

Settings of the HTML block

Once you click on the HTML block, the settings block of the HTML block is available. The following can be set:

Block

• Fill: If the dot is dragged to the right, the fill becomes smaller relative to the block
• Margin: the margins around the block can be made larger if you move the dot to the right
• Border width: By default, there is no border around the block. As soon as you move the dot to the right then the border appears. The further to the right, the wider the border
• Edge rounding: move the dot to the right to set the rounding of the corners

Colours

Under Colours you can set a colour for the background, border and letters. Click Clear if you want to return to the original settings.
