Main content

This is the area in which you need to write plain text or HTML for the end-users to consume.

Plain text

You can simply type any text in the box and it will appear as a read-only text to the end-users.

HTML

If you know the basics of HTML, you can add rich text or anything that HTML supports by writing HTML in the input box.

If you don't know how to write HTML, we recommend using this awesome service https://wordtohtml.net/ that lets you write anything like a word file and converts it into HTML. Copy the converted HTML and paste it here.
