"Edit as HTML" typically refers to a feature in content management systems (CMS), website builders, or text editors that allows users to directly modify the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) code of a web page or a segment of content. This can be useful for several reasons, such as:
-
Customization: Users can add custom HTML elements, styles, or scripts that might not be available through the standard visual editor.
-
Precision: Editing in HTML allows for precise control over how content is structured and displayed, which can be important for achieving specific design goals.
-
Advanced Features: Users can incorporate advanced functionalities (like embedding multimedia, forms, or interactive elements) that may not be supported by the default editor interface.
-
Troubleshooting: If there are issues with how content is displayed, editing as HTML can help users identify and fix problems in the code.
In practice, when you select "edit as HTML," you usually see the raw code of the webpage or content block, which you can then modify as needed before saving or previewing the changes.
