Section properties dialogs

The respective section properties dialogs are opened via the contextual menu:

  • Right-click the section in the Resources pane and choose Properties.

Email section properties

For information about Email sections, see: Email templates.

Properties tab

The properties for an Email section are minimal and contain the following options:

  • Name: Enter the name of the Section in the Email Context. This has no effect on output.
  • The Meta Information group lists all <meta> tags that will be added to the header of the email. Click the Add button to add a new <meta> tag to the list. Then you can select the type of <meta> tag, which is either name or http-equiv, and enter the value (for a name-type meta tag) and the content. For example, when you add a name meta tag with the value viewport and content width=320, the following will be added to the header: <meta name="viewport" content="width=320">. For more information on <meta> tags, see W3Schools - HTML meta tag.

Includes tab

This tab lists the style sheets that can be applied to the email section when producing the output. Style sheets are loaded in the order shown, and styles in later style sheets overwrite earlier ones when the same selector is used. (See Includes dialog and Styling templates with CSS files.)

Attachments tab

The Attachments tab lets you select files and delete attachments. For more information, see: Email attachments.

Print section properties

For information about Print sections, see: Print sections.

Properties

  • Section group:
    • Name: The name of the section.
    • Minimum number of pages: The default minimum number of pages is 1. If content is too long to fit on one page, overflow will automatically appear on the next page. Changing the minimum number of pages can be useful when you want certain content to appear on a specific page.
