Creating Macros
The Fast!page HTML Editor is a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you
get) editor that allows users to quickly create or edit formatted online content
without knowledge of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). The Fast!page
HTML Editor is available wherever a text area is found within ANGEL. The editor
is available for both faculty and students. It is found in many places within
ANGEL including the email tool and discussion forums.
This tutorial will focus
on how to create and reuse HTML code using Marcos. If you have a common look
and feel to all your content pages, creating a Marco will save you an erroneous
amount of time. Once the Marco is created, you can then quickly insert that
common look and feel into your content pages.
