I assumed the HTML button in the tools would switch the view to an HTML view so you can get to the code. This appears not to be the case.

What is the HTML tool for and how do you use it?

Hello Brad,
The html button parses selected html and converts into actual html elements.

So if you enter:

<ul>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ul>

and then mark it an press the html button, it will be rendered as:

• List Item
• List Item
• List Item

So in theory I could add Bootstrap elements to a Medium Text Area? That would be interesting ....

You can add any HTML structure there

Excellent, thanks!
