HTML can be used within the IntelliSurvey software to format pages, insert special characters, create tables, and more.
Use the html tag independently or within a text widget to format and display content as needed.
html: <h1><b>Let's do this...</b></h1>
set text: PRODDESC
html: <<END
<p>This product has these features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Smooth surface</li>
<li>Stain resistant</li>
<li>Award winning, patented smell.</li>
</ul>
END
Tip! Consider using heredoc syntax to make your HTML more readable, as shown above.
