Content Management

WYSIWYG

In ApplyCycle, editors use the text editor to format text in content fields. The Text Format setting lets editors choose Basic HTML or Full HTML. Applicants use Basic HTML for formatted text. Editors can add links to pages on the site or to external web addresses.

The WYSIWYG is found throughout the site wherever formatted text can be added.

On content pages, editors can change the Text Format below a WYSIWYG from Basic HTML to Full HTML. Applicants can only use Basic HTML text format. Basic HTML text format limits the HTML tags (and corresponding WYSIWYG buttons) for security and simplicity. Full HTML allows any HTML and can be used as necessary.
