Authoring tools element design examples
You can format an authoring tool element's look and feel in different ways, including displaying authoring tools as text based links, or image based links. Use placeholder tags to display authoring tools. You can only use these placeholder tags in authoring tool designs:
- name
- href
- namelink
See the Use Placeholders in element designs topic for further information.
Text-based authoring tool
This example describes the element designs used to display a text-based authoring tool. Each design includes placeholder tags that are used to generate the text and link for each authoring tool. Each link uses the target="_blank" tag to make the authoring tool action open in a new browser window instead of replacing the current page.
